For the Cake Base

  • 1/2 cup Oil or melted butter for richer flavor
  • 1 cup Water as specified on the package

  • 1 cup Peanut Butter preferably natural
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1/2 cup Regular Milk use any type available
For the Topping
  • 2 cups Whipped Cream store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup Crushed Peanut Butter Cups or chocolate chips as alternatives

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Mixing Bowl
  • whisk
  • electric mixer
  • wooden spoon

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions, adding required eggs, oil, and water. Pour batter into the dish and bake for about 30 minutes.
  2. While the cake cools for 10-15 minutes, mix together peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and regular milk in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
  3. Poke holes in the slightly cooled cake using a wooden spoon handle, about 15-20 holes. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into all the holes.
  4. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the entire cake once the peanut butter mixture has soaked in.
  5. Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve topped with additional crushed peanut butter cups or chocolate shavings if desired.
