Ingredients
- 1 box devil's food cake mix
- 2 cups peanut butter (divided)
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 2 cups chopped candies (like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Reese's Pieces)
- Heavy cream as needed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9"x13" baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and greasing it.
- Mix the devil's food cake according to package instructions and pour into the pan. Bake for about 25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
- Poke holes across the top of the cooled cake using the back of a wooden spoon. Pour melted peanut butter uniformly over the surface, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
- For frosting, beat together remaining peanut butter and softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt; blend until fluffy. Stir in heavy cream if needed for consistency.
- Spread frosting over the cake and top with chopped candies for garnish.
