Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces candies
  • chocolate syrup for drizzling

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • electric mixer or whisk
  • wooden spoon handle
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the top of the cake.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Pour this mixture over the warm cake, filling the holes.
  6. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
  7. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  8. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake and top with Reese’s Pieces.
  9. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top before serving.

Notes

For extra chocolate flavor, drizzle with hot fudge instead of syrup. You can also chill the cake for an hour before serving for the perfect texture. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
