I don’t know about you, but I love finding desserts that are totally simple to throw together but taste absolutely delicious. That’s why I had to share this amazing Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake recipe with you!

It’s made with just 4 ingredients – a box of chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding mix, milk, and chopped peanut butter cups. You literally just dump everything in a baking dish and mix it up. No electric mixer or fancy techniques needed!

In 30 minutes, you’ll have the richest, fudgiest chocolate cake studded with melted peanut butter cups. It’s pure chocolate-peanut butter bliss in cake form! Let me tell you more about it:

What Exactly is a Dump Cake?

A dump cake is basically the easiest cake imaginable. You layer dry cake mix, fruit pie filling or pudding, and butter in a baking dish. Then you just dump them all together without mixing and bake.

The ingredients blend together as it bakes for a delicious, almost cobbler-like treat. No need to dirty a mixer or fuss with a cake pan.

Dump cakes are great for potlucks, weeknight desserts, parties – anytime you want yummy cake with minimal effort. You can really customize them to your taste too.

How to Make This Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake

This recipe is a simple twist on the classic:

• Whisk together the chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding mix, and milk until smooth. It will be very thick.
• Fold in the chopped peanut butter cups.
• Spread into a greased 9×13 pan.
• Bake at 350F for about 25 minutes until set.

That’s it – so easy! You can also just layer the ingredients in the pan without mixing if you prefer. Either way, it magically transforms into fudgy chocolate cake bars loaded with peanut butter flavor.

Serving Ideas

I like to top this dump cake with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for extra richness. Crushed candy bars would also be delicious sprinkled on top!

It’s wonderful on its own for snacking too. The melted peanut butter cups throughout make every bite so decadent.

This is sure to become your new go-to when you need chocolate satisfaction without spending hours in the kitchen. Let me know if you give it a try!
