Layer the Ingredients:
Sprinkle the chocolate pudding mix evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread the chocolate cake mix on top of the pudding mix, ensuring an even layer.
Slowly pour the milk over the dry layers. Do not mix.
Drizzle the melted peanut butter evenly over the surface.
Sprinkle the chopped peanut butter cups evenly over the mixture.
Add the Butter:
Lay the pats of butter evenly across the top of the cake. This helps create a rich, gooey texture as it bakes.
Bake:
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly gooey (like a lava cake texture).
Cool and Serve:
Let the dump cake cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Top with additional chopped peanut butter cups, whipped cream, or ice cream for extra decadence.
