Instructions
- Prepare the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, water, and eggs. Mix until smooth and well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for about 10-15 minutes. - Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
While the cake is cooling, beat together the creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled cake layer. - Prepare the Chocolate Topping:
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream in the microwave for about 30 seconds until it’s hot. Add the chocolate chips to the hot cream and stir until completely melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread it evenly. - Chill and Set:
Allow the cake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let the layers set and become gooey. - Serve and Enjoy:
Once chilled, cut the cake into squares and serve. This ooey gooey cake is best served cold, and it’s deliciously rich and indulgent!
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can add chopped peanuts or more chocolate chips to the top before chilling.
- This cake can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
- Adjust the amount of peanut butter and chocolate to your preference for an extra indulgent experience.
