Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Earthquake Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Cake Batter:

• 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients specified on the box – eggs, oil, water)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup buttermilk

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

For the Topping:

• 1 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Once mixed, add the melted butter and buttermilk, and stir until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until well combined. Set aside.
4. Pour the chocolate cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
5. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture onto the chocolate batter. Using a knife or spatula, swirl the peanut butter mixture into the chocolate batter to create a marbled effect.
6. Sprinkle the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chocolate chips, and chopped peanuts evenly over the top of the batter.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
