For the Topping:

  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Bake the Cake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake as directed, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Allow the cake to cool for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Poke Holes in the Cake:
    • Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly across the surface of the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  3. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:

    • Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Fill the Cake:
    • Slowly pour the peanut butter mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
    • Use a spatula to spread any remaining mixture evenly over the top.
    • Allow the cake to cool completely.

    • Sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups over the top for garnish.
    • If desired, drizzle with chocolate or fudge sauce.
  7. Chill and Serve:
