PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE

When my family is planning a get-together, I can count on three or four people asking if I'm bringing this chocolate peanut butter poke cake. If you don't have a chocolate cake mix, use a white or yellow one and stir in 3 tablespoons of baking cocoa. -Fay Moreland, Wichita Falls, Texas

Categories     Dessert

Time 4h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 chocolate cake, baked and cooled
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) jar hot fudge
1/4 cup peanut butter
8 ounces Cool Whip
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 (8 ounce) bag mini Reese's Peanut Butter cups, chopped
1 (10 ounce) bag Reese's pieces

Steps:

  • Bake a chocolate cake with your recipe of choice in a 9x13 pan
  • Use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly throughout the cake. I usually end up poking 20-25 holes.
  • Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over top of the cake, aiming to fill up the holes.
  • Scrape the hot fudge into a medium bowl. Add the 1/4 cup peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds. Mix until smooth and spread over the cake.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp peanut butter with the cool whip (I use a hand mixer here, but it's not a big deal to do it by hand).
  • Spread the peanut butter cool whip over top.
  • Chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is really best).
  • Top with chopped Reese's cups and Reese's Pieces (you can add these before chilling, but the Reese's Pieces candy coating will bleed onto the cool whip when chilled).
  • Serves approximately 12 (large pieces).

Here's what you need: chocolate cake mix, cream cheese, peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, milk, whipped topping, peanut butter cup

Provided by Merle O'Neal

Categories     Desserts

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ box chocolate cake mix, prepared according to instructions
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup peanut butter
14 oz sweetened condensed milk, 1 can
1 cup milk
8 oz whipped topping
peanut butter cup, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175C).
  • Spray a 9x9 inch (23x23cm) baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Prepare and pour the chocolate cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
  • Add condensed milk, whisking until there are no large lumps.
  • Gradually whisk in the milk, until smooth.
  • Using the back of a wooden spoon, poke 4 rows of 4 holes in the cake, making 16 holes total.
  • Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cake and set until the cake has absorbed as much of the mixture as it can. Some of the mixture will still stay on top, which is okay.
  • Freeze cake for 30 minutes, to slightly solidify the topping.
  • Spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake.
  • Chill the cake anywhere from 3 hours to overnight.
  • Slice, and garnish with peanut butter cups.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • To ensure a moist and tender cake, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour. Cake flour has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour, which results in a softer crumb.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use melted unsweetened chocolate instead of cocoa powder.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk.
  • Let the cake cool completely before poking holes in it. This will prevent the cake from crumbling.
  • Use a fork or toothpick to poke holes in the cake. Don't make the holes too big, or the frosting will seep out.
  • Pour the frosting over the cake slowly, allowing it to soak into the holes. You may need to use a spatula to spread the frosting evenly.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the frosting to set.

Conclusion:

Peanut Butter Chocolate Poke Cake is an easy-to-make and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. This cake is also very moist and tender, thanks to the use of buttermilk and sour cream. If you are looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, Peanut Butter Chocolate Poke Cake is the perfect choice.
