Description

This indulgent Chocolate Peanut Butter Poke Cake combines rich chocolate cake with creamy peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and hot fudge sauce. Topped with whipped cream and chopped peanuts, it’s the perfect dessert for any peanut butter and chocolate lover!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 jar (16 oz) hot fudge sauce
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup chopped peanuts (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare and bake the chocolate cake according to the package instructions.
  • Once the cake is done, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake while it’s still warm.
  • Microwave the peanut butter for about 30 seconds, or until smooth, then pour it over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
  • Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes as well.
  • Heat the hot fudge sauce in the microwave and pour it evenly over the cake.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow all the flavors to meld and set.
  • Spread whipped topping over the cake and garnish with chopped peanuts before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to poke plenty of holes in the cake so that the peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and hot fudge sauce can fully soak in.
  • You can use a store-bought or homemade hot fudge sauce for extra flavor.
  • For a richer taste, you can drizzle extra hot fudge or peanut butter on top before serving.
