How I found it

Picture this:

It’s 2 a.m., and I am elbow-deep in flour, surrounded by a sea of cocoa-dusted measuring cups. Why, you ask? That is when brilliance strikes at ungodly hours. This recipe was born out of one late night craving and just plain refusal to settle for anything less than phenomenal sweets.
Standing there in my softly lit kitchen, a mixing bowl cradled in my hands, I couldn’t shake the thoughts of my grandma’s famous peanut butter fudge. That is when I thought, why not take two very classic time-honored treats and put them into one extra special dessert. Voila, this peanut butter chocolate cake was born!

How to Make a Peanut Butter Dump Cake?

Emma’s Tips

Alright, let’s talk troubleshooting. If your cake comes out a bit dry, don’t panic! Warm it up slightly and drizzle some chocolate syrup over it – crisis averted. And here’s a pro tip: if you’re feeling extra naughty, try browning the butter before adding it to the mix. It’ll give your cake a nutty, caramel-like undertone that’ll knock your socks off.

Serving Suggestions

Now, how would you serve this masterpiece of a dessert? I go all out—heat a slice in the microwave for only 15 seconds and then place a scoop of creamy vanilla bean ice cream on top, followed by drizzling the entire thing with warm peanut butter sauce. And for the ultimate fancy feeling: it’s just fabulous with a nice glass of port wine. Trust me, it’s a pairing that seems meant to be!

Ingredients

• 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz) – Go for a dark chocolate variety if you’re feeling extra decadent!

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter – The smoother, the better for that perfect swirl.

• 1 cup water

• 1 cup milk – Whole milk works best, but any milk will do.

• 3 large eggs – Room temperature, please!

• 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet) – Feel free to mix in some milk chocolate chips for variety.

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted – Salted butter works too, just omit the extra salt.

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Pure vanilla extract is worth the splurge here.

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• Optional toppings: extra peanut butter, powdered sugar, ice cream, or whipped cream

Steps

• Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch
  baking dish.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake
  mix, water, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until
  smooth and well incorporated.
• Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
• In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered
  sugar, and salt until smooth and creamy.
• Drop dollops of the peanut butter mixture over the
  chocolate batter, then use a knife to swirl it gently into
  the cake mix.
• Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top of the
  batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a
  toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes
  before serving.
• Adding an extra spoonful of peanut butter on top of
  each serving, if desired, to complement the warm cake
  perfectly. Optionally, top with extra peanut butter,
  powdered sugar, ice cream, or whipped
  cream for extra richness.
