Reese’s Peanut Butter Earthquake Cake
Reese’s Peanut Butter Earthquake Cake is a rich chocolate cake with swirls of creamy peanut butter, topped with chocolate chips and Reese’s cups. It’s sweet, gooey, and perfect for peanut butter lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix + ingredients required eggs, oil, water
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups halved
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch glass baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the chocolate cake batter according to the box directions. Pour it into the dish and spread evenly.
- Beat softened cream cheese and melted butter until smooth. Add peanut butter and vanilla. Mix in powdered sugar one cup at a time until fluffy.
- Spoon the peanut butter mix over the cake batter. Swirl gently with a knife—don’t overmix. Sprinkle chocolate chips and halved Reese’s cups on top.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until mostly set. A toothpick should come out with just a few crumbs.
- Let the cake cool slightly. Slice and serve warm, plain or with vanilla ice cream or chocolate syrup.
