Peanut Butter Chocolate Poke Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease and lightly flour 13x9-inch pan. Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool completely in pan.
• Poke holes in cake using fork or skewer. Pour 3/4 cup of the chocolate syrup over cake; let stand until most of the syrup soaks into cake.
• In large bowl, beat peanut butter and whipped topping with electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Spread over cake.
• Using large chef's knife, cut peanut butter cups into fourths. Scatter over frosting. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate syrup.
• Cover and refrigerate cake, but bring to room temperature before serving. Cover and refrigerate any remaining cake.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175C).
• Spray a 9x9 inch (23x23cm) baking pan with cooking spray.
• Prepare and pour the chocolate cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
• In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth.
• Add condensed milk, whisking until there are no large lumps.
• Gradually whisk in the milk, until smooth.
• Using the back of a wooden spoon, poke 4 rows of 4 holes in the cake, making 16 holes total.
• Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cake and set until the cake has absorbed as much of the mixture as it can. Some of the mixture will still stay on top, which is okay.
• Freeze cake for 30 minutes, to slightly solidify the topping.
• Spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake.
• Chill the cake anywhere from 3 hours to overnight.
• Slice, and garnish with peanut butter cups.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bake a chocolate cake with your recipe of choice in a 9x13 pan
• Use the bottom of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly throughout the cake. I usually end up poking 20-25 holes.
• Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over top of the cake, aiming to fill up the holes.
• Scrape the hot fudge into a medium bowl. Add the 1/4 cup peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds. Mix until smooth and spread over the cake.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp peanut butter with the cool whip (I use a hand mixer here, but it's not a big deal to do it by hand).
• Spread the peanut butter cool whip over top.
• Chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is really best).
• Top with chopped Reese's cups and Reese's Pieces (you can add these before chilling, but the Reese's Pieces candy coating will bleed onto the cool whip when chilled).
• Serves approximately 12 (large pieces).

Steps:

• 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.
