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

I've tried many chocolate peanut butter cakes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is perfect.

This cake was too dense for my liking. The chocolate flavor was also a bit too strong.

This cake was a disappointment. The chocolate cake was dry and the peanut butter filling was too runny.
