Reese's Peanut Butter Poke Cake image

This is by far one of our favorite cakes and it's so easy to make!

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 box chocolate cake mix
eggs, oil, and water as directed on the box cake mix
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 cup peanut butter, (I used creamy)
12 ounces cool whip, divided
12 ounces hot fudge, divided
8 reese's peanut butter cups, crumbled

Steps:

  • Prepare and bake your chocolate cake following instructions on the cake mix box. When the cake is done cooking, take it out of the oven and poke the cake all over with a fork.
  • Microwave your hot fudge and pour 3/4 of the jar on top of the cake so it will soak in.
  • Combine cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl or stand mixer and beat until smooth. Add peanut butter and continue mixing until thoroughly incorporated. Add half of the cool whip and continue mixing it until smooth.
  • Spread peanut butter mixture evenly over cooled cake. Cover and refrigerate until cool.
  • Spread remaining cool whip over peanut butter mixture. Drizzle rest of hot fudge over top. Then sprinkle the crumbled reese's peanut butter cups over top. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Be patient when making the caramel. It takes time for the sugar to caramelize. Don't stir it too much, or it will crystallize.
  • Use a toothpick to test if the cake is done. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This chocolate caramel peanut poke cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this chocolate caramel peanut poke cake a try.
