Description
This cake is exactly what it sounds like: a rich, chocolatey explosion of flavor with a creamy peanut butter swirl that shakes up every bite. From the melty chocolate chips to the soft cream cheese center, it’s an indulgent dessert that steals the show. Easy to make, impossible to forget.
Ingredients
1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
½ cup melted butter
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup peanut butter
3 cups powdered sugar
1 cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
Mini Reese’s peanut butter cups (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the cake mix according to the box directions and pour into the pan.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, melted butter, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Spoon the peanut butter mixture over the cake batter in dollops, then swirl gently with a knife (don’t fully mix).
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still gooey (like a molten cake).
Cool slightly, then top with mini Reese’s and extra chocolate chips. Serve warm or chilled.
