Description
Prepare to delight your senses with this Death by Chocolate Peanut Butter Dump Cake, a dessert that is unapologetically indulgent.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, blend together the creamy peanut butter with both the granulated and brown sugars. The result should be a smooth, well-combined mixture where the peanut butter acts as the creamy base binding all those sugars effortlessly for that sweet goodness.
- Slowly add the melted unsalted butter, stirring continuously to maintain smoothness. This step ensures a lusciously soft texture that guarantees the ultimate gooey finish once baked.
- Gently incorporate the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the mixture. Ensure everything blends together smoothly for a rich, chocolatey batter that will soon transform into your decadent cake.
- Into the chocolatey mixture, add the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to incorporate a smooth consistency that defines this cake’s signature richness.
- Pour this well-prepared batter evenly into your greased 9×13-inch dish. Slide it into the oven, letting it bake for around 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted emerges with moist crumbs, embodying the cake’s gooey essence.
- Straight from the oven, sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips liberally on top. At this stage, if you wish, add mini marshmallows and chopped peanuts to take your cake to new heights. Return it to the oven for just five more minutes until the topping melts into gooey perfection.
- Allow the cake to cool for a mere 15 minutes, letting it firm just enough for easy slicing. Best served warm, this cake promises a memorable chocolate-peanut butter experience.
Notes
Ensure peanut butter is creamy, not chunky, for perfect blendability.
