Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (8 oz / 226 g) mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
- 1.75 cups (414 mL) milk
- 1 box (15.25 oz / 432 g) chocolate cake mix
- 1 box (3.4 oz / 96 g) chocolate instant pudding mix
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly spray a 13×9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Mixture Creation: Whisk milk and chocolate pudding mix until smooth, then blend in chocolate cake mix, stirring until a dense batter forms with integrated chocolate and peanut butter cup pieces.
- Assembly: Gently fold chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups throughout the batter, ensuring even distribution of chocolatey-peanutty morsels.
- Baking Process: Pour batter into prepared dish, spreading evenly, and bake for 25 minutes until a cake tester emerges clean when inserted into the center.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow cake to rest for several minutes after removing from oven, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature, enjoying the rich chocolate base with embedded peanut butter cup fragments.
Notes
- Precise Mixing: Whisk pudding mix and cake mix thoroughly to prevent dry pockets and ensure a smooth, consistent texture.
- Chocolate Cup Distribution: Chop Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups into similar-sized pieces for even flavor spread throughout the cake.
- Check Baking Doneness: Test cake with a toothpick at 25 minutes; slight moist crumbs are okay, but avoid wet batter for perfect consistency.
- Cooling Strategy: Let cake rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow flavors to meld and achieve optimal texture before serving.
