Ingredients

For the Cake Base:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

For the Topping:

  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup peanut butter chips
  • Extra powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Make the Cake Base: In a bowl, mix the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and egg until well blended. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Prepare the Peanut Butter Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar, mixing until creamy.
  • Assemble: Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the cake base.
  • Add Toppings: Sprinkle chocolate chips and peanut butter chips over the top.
  • Bake: Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the edges are set but the center remains slightly gooey.
  • Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Add chopped peanuts for extra crunch.
  • Drizzle melted chocolate or caramel for an extra decadent touch.
  • Reduce the powdered sugar slightly if you prefer a less sweet version.
