Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, plus ingredients called for on the box
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, halved or quartered
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package directions.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
- Spoon dollops of the peanut butter mixture over the cake batter.
- Sprinkle the halved or quartered Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups evenly over the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely before slicing and serving. The center will be soft and gooey – that’s the “earthquake” effect!
Notes
For an extra touch, drizzle melted chocolate or peanut butter over the cooled cake before serving. You can also add a sprinkle of chopped peanuts.
