Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whipped topping
- ½ cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the chocolate cake mix box. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and prepare the cake batter as directed. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake as instructed on the box.
- Poke the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a fork to poke holes all over the cake, making sure the holes are deep.
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the peanut butter for about 30 seconds until soft. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Pour this peanut butter mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
- Make the Whipped Topping: In a small bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the whipped topping to create a smooth, airy mixture.
- Top the Cake: Spread the whipped topping mixture over the cake and sprinkle chopped peanuts on top, if desired.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow it to set. Slice and serve your Chocolate Peanut Butter Poke Cake chilled. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer a more peanut butter-rich topping, you can add more chopped peanuts or drizzle extra peanut butter on top before serving.
- For extra indulgence, try adding chocolate chips to the whipped topping for more texture and flavor.
