Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9×13 inch baking dish to ensure nothing sticks. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, creamy peanut butter, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. I find that whisking this mixture until it’s smooth is key—if you don’t, you might end up with lumps later on! Once your mixture is velvety, pour it into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out with a rubber spatula. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
