Ingredients
- Cake:
- 1 German Chocolate Cake Mix
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 1 egg
- Second Layer:
- 8 Peanut Butter Cups (large one)
- 3 small Butterfinger Candy Bars
- Cream Cheese Layer:
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 4 cups confectionery sugar
- Chocolate topping:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable or canola oil
Instructions
1. Set the Oven Temperature: Preheat the oven to 350°F, or to 325°F if you’re baking in a glass dish.
2. Create the Cake Layer: Mix together the cake mix, egg, and butter until they’re well blended. Spray a 9×12 pan with cooking spray, then press this cake mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan.
3. Pile on the Candy: Quarter the large peanut butter cups and roughly chop the Butterfingers, then sprinkle them evenly across the cake layer to add a sweet, crunchy kick.
4. Make the Creamy Peanut Butter Filling: Blend the cream cheese, vanilla, and peanut butter until smooth and combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each, then pour in the melted butter. Once it’s all mixed, add the powdered sugar and spread this creamy layer over the candy pieces.
5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for about 50 minutes, but if you’re using a glass pan, expect it to take a little over an hour.
The center should rise and have a slight jiggle when it’s ready. Take it out and let it cool.
6. Finish with a Chocolate Topping: Microwave the chocolate for a minute, then stir in a bit of oil until smooth.
Spread this rich chocolate layer over the cooled cream cheese topping, letting it set. You can decorate the cake however you like.
Now that it’s all finally done, it’s time to enjoy it. Get a slice of this delicate and creamy cake, and savor the rich flavors.
