PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE



Peanut Butter Chocolate Poke Cake image

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

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 make the perfect poke cake, start with a moist and fluffy cake base. Any flavor of cake will work, but chocolate or vanilla are classic choices.
  • Make sure to poke the holes in the cake deeply enough so that the filling can easily soak in. Use a fork or a skewer to make the holes.
  • For the filling, you can use any type of pudding or frosting that you like. Chocolate, vanilla, or peanut butter are all popular choices.
  • If you are using a pudding filling, be sure to let it set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will help it to thicken and become more spreadable.
  • To add even more flavor and richness to your poke cake, try adding a layer of ganache or whipped cream on top.

Conclusion:

Peanut Butter Chocolate Poke Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy cake base, rich and creamy filling, and decadent ganache topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
