Description

Discover the ultimate dessert solution with a peanut butter dump cake that combines convenience and indulgence. This no-mix dessert features layers of creamy peanut butter, chocolate cake mix, and melty peanut butter cups, baked to perfection with a crisp golden crust and gooey center.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (about 15.25 oz)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, sliced thin
  • 10 peanut butter cups, halved
  • 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread creamy peanut butter evenly across the bottom of the dish.
  3. Sprinkle dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the peanut butter layer.
  4. Pour sweetened condensed milk slowly over the cake mix without stirring.
  5. Place thin slices of unsalted butter evenly over the top.
  6. Press halved peanut butter cups gently into the surface.
  7. Sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts evenly on top.
  8. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until edges are golden and center is set.
  9. Cool on a rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Ensure even layering for best texture. Use room temperature ingredients for consistent melting. Do not open oven door during first 20 minutes to maintain heat.
