WARNING WARNING. You will have no self control when you make this dessert. This is by far one of the best cakes that I have ever made.
In the middle is hot fudge, followed by an amazing peanut butter layer, then it’s topped off with whipping cream, sprinkled with peanut butter cups and drizzled with hot fudge. Oh my goodness. It will have your tastebuds celebrating.
If you are a peanut butter and chocolate loving person, or know of one, this recipe needs to be made. I am not kidding, this is the best cake I have ever eaten, and I have tasted a lot of cake in my day.
The best part is, it comes from a box. So yummy and so simple.
my hot fudge isn’t sinking into my cake:
If you run into this problem, your holes may be a little small. However, if you give this cake time, eventually the fudge will seep into the cake.
I usually prepare this recipe at night and let it sit in the fridge overnight, before I add the whipped cream layer and other toppings.
Every time, it puddles on top, then in the morning, it’s all sunk deep down into the cake. It just takes time.
This recipe is also best when it is served after it has had enough time for the sauce to seep into the cake. I recommend making it the night before you plan on serving it, and maybe adding the whipped cream an hour before you plate it.
It tastes best cold, so we usually keep ours covered in the fridge.
I have also made this recipe, and used a fork to poke my holes. The cake was amazing, and all the hot fudge sunk in over night.
We usually use the small round end of a wooden spoon to poke the holes, but forks also work great. It may just take a little longer for the hot fudge to sink in.

Instructions
- Prepare and bake your chocolate cake following instructions on the cake mix box. When the cake is done cooking, take it out of the oven and poke the cake all over with a fork.
- Microwave your hot fudge and pour 3/4 of the jar on top of the cake so it will soak in.
- Combine cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk in a large bowl or stand mixer and beat until smooth. Add peanut butter and continue mixing until thoroughly incorporated. Add half of the cool whip and continue mixing it until smooth.
- Spread peanut butter mixture evenly over cooled cake. Cover and refrigerate until cool.
- Spread remaining cool whip over peanut butter mixture. Drizzle rest of hot fudge over top. Then sprinkle the crumbled reese's peanut butter cups over top. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.
