Description
A delightful layered dessert featuring chocolate cake, creamy peanut butter filling, whipped cream, and topped with Reese’s peanut butter cups.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients from the box)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate pudding (optional)
- 1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups

Instructions
- Preheat your oven and prepare the chocolate cake mix as per box instructions. Bake in a standard-size cake pan.
- Let the cake cool completely before cutting into medium-sized chunks.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Get a clear 9×13 inch dish and start layering: half the cake chunks, peanut butter mixture, half the whipped cream, half the chocolate pudding (if using), and drizzle some chocolate syrup.
- Repeat the layers in the same order, finishing with whipped cream on top.
- Scatter chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups on top and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
For the best results, ensure the cake is completely cool and use room temperature cream cheese.
