Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Peanut Butter Poke Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the cake batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the peanut butter filling by whisking together peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, and whole milk until smooth.
- Poke holes in the warm cake using the handle of a wooden spoon, about 1 inch apart.
- Pour the peanut butter filling over the poked cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Spread any excess filling on top.
- In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream and powdered sugar. Beat until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold in peanut butter into the whipped cream until smooth.
- Once the cake is cooled, spread the peanut butter whipped topping evenly across the top.
- Sprinkle chopped Reese's cups and crushed peanuts on top, drizzling with melted chocolate and peanut butter.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes
Ensure the cake cools for at least 10 minutes before poking holes. Use a chilled bowl when whipping cream for better results.
