Method
 

Cake Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and 1¾ cups of milk until completely smooth and well combined. This should take about 2 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in the chocolate cake mix. Stir until just blended—be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
  3. Roughly chop your peanut butter cups into bite-sized pieces. Carefully fold them into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Place in a preheated oven at 350°F and bake for about 25 minutes.
  5. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
