Chocolate Peanut Butter Poke Cake

Source of Recipe

internet


List of Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix - (regular 2 layer cake mix, not the "pudding in the mix" type)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 boxes instant chocolate pudding (4 serving size)
1 cup confectioners sugar
4 cups cold milk




Recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and peanut butter plus any ingredients listed on the back of the box that must be added to the cake mix. Prepare the cake according to the package directions for a 9" X 13" cake.

After baking, remove cake from the oven. Using the rounded handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes in the cake, leaving 1 1/2" spaces between the holes. After holes have been made, place the cake on a wire rack and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the pudding mix and confectioners sugar. Gradually stir in milk. Beat on low speed for 1 minute..do not overbeat. Immediately, before it thickens, pour about half of the pudding evenly over the warm cake. Let it sink into the holes. Allow the remaining half of the pudding to thicken slightly, then spoon it on top of the cake. Smooth across the entire top of the cake as frosting. Chill for at least one hour before cutting the cake. Store cake in the refrigerator.
