Description

There’s a dessert that combines the two most irresistible flavors—peanut butter and chocolate—and it’s called Reese’s Poke Cake. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a party, or simply indulging in a cozy evening at home, this dessert is the perfect showstopper. The rich, moist chocolate cake is infused with a luscious peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk mixture, topped with a creamy, dreamy peanut butter Cool Whip layer, and finished off with mini Reese’s for an extra burst of chocolatey goodness. It’s everything you crave in a dessert, and more.

Ingredients

Scale

1 chocolate cake mix (and ingredients per package)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup milk
1 cup peanut butter
1 tub chocolate frosting
8 oz container Cool Whip
1/2 cup peanut butter (additional for Cool Whip mixture)
Mini Reese’s or chopped Reese’s for topping

Instructions

Bake the chocolate cake according to package directions. Allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes.
Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a skewer, poke holes all over the cake.
In a bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 cup milk, and 1 cup peanut butter until smooth.
Pour this mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
Microwave the tub of chocolate frosting for about 20 seconds to soften, then pour it over the top of the cake and spread evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the Cool Whip and 1/2 cup peanut butter, swirling gently until blended. Spread this mixture over the chocolate layer, swirling it lightly.
Top the cake with mini Reese’s or chopped Reese’s for garnish.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the cake to set.

Notes

Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture in the milk mixture and the Cool Whip swirl.
Chill the cake overnight for an even richer flavor and better sliceability.
