Description
A rich and indulgent chocolate cake infused with peanut butter flavor, slow-cooked in a crockpot to achieve a moist, gooey texture that’s perfect for an easy and delicious dessert.
Ingredients
Cake Batter
- 1 chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup oil or melted butter
- 1 cup peanut butter
Add-Ins
- 1 cup Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped
- ½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Crockpot: Grease the inside of the crockpot thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking during cooking.
- Mix Cake Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, milk, eggs, and oil or melted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Peanut Butter: Stir in the peanut butter until fully combined into the batter, ensuring an even flavor throughout.
- Incorporate Add-ins: Gently fold in the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer to Crockpot: Pour the prepared batter into the greased crockpot, spreading it out evenly.
- Slow Cook the Cake: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on the low setting for 2 to 3 hours, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly inside the crockpot before serving warm. This cake pairs wonderfully with a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
- Be cautious not to overcook the cake to ensure it remains moist and gooey.
- Serving the cake warm enhances its rich, melty texture; ice cream is a perfect accompaniment.
- Using crockpot liners can simplify cleanup after cooking.
