Chocolate Peanut Butter Dump Cake an easy chocolaty dense moist cake; that is pure heaven for all you chocolate lovers out there.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Dump Cake

Chocolate peanut butter dump cake is made with a cake mix, a small box of pudding, evaporated milk, peanut butter cups. I topped the cake with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, peanut butter, more peanut butter cups and milk chocolate chips.

We celebrated our son-in-laws birthday last weekend with a birthday dinner. Before I ask him what he would like for dessert I knew what he would say. Anything with chocolate and peanut butter.

He is a guy with good taste. You can never go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate.

Since my family never goes with traditional birthday cakes, I knew that the chocolate dump cake would be perfect. Let me tell you it was a hit.

It is a simple dessert usually made with a cake mix. The ingredients are dumped together, then mixed together, and spread in a baking dish. A very easy dessert to make with an amazing turnout.

Do you have to add topping to the cake?

No, the cake is delicious by itself. Although the whipped cream compliments the cake.

Notes

  1. Expect that the batter will be very thick.

    This looks delicious, Dawn…and easy! And as far as your note about the whipped topping being optional? I’m going to have to disagree. That looks too good to be optional! Chocolate and peanut butter is the ultimate combination of deliciousness. 🙂

    There are a few mistakes in your directions. I don’t think you microwave peanut butter for 10 minutes…you meant 10 seconds, right? I can’t wait to make it for my Peanut butter/ chocolate loving daughter! Great recipe!
