This chocolate peanut butter cake is such a fun cake to whip up for so many occasions. It’s perfect for summer picnics, family gatherings, birthday parties, you name it!

Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe
Here’s your line up. Nice and easy for ya!
Let’s start with the cake batter shall we?
How To Make Chocolate Bundt Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray bundt pan with non stick cooking spray.
- To prepare cake, place cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, cream, oil, sour cream, water and peanut butter into a stand mixer. Beat on low until well combined. Batter will be thick. Transfer to prepared bundt pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until baked through. Let cool for 20 minutes before turning cake onto a cake stand. Let cool completely.
- To prepare icing, melt peanut butter in microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir in sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Drizzle part over cooled cake and add a second layer after 15 or 20 minutes. Save remaining icing for individual slices of cake.
1 box of chocolate pudding mix.
4 large beautiful eggs.
Heavy cream or milk will do 🙂
A little oil and sour cream.
Peanut Butter! Now…please note, you can leave the peanut butter out if you’d like just a fabulous chocolate bundt. You can even add some chocolate chips that would be delish.
Do not be alarmed, your batter will be very thick.
The Best Bundt Cake Recipe
Place it right into your bundt pan.
Spread it nice and even, then time to bake!
Ahhhh, there it is, baked and perfect! Let this baby cool.
How To Make Icing
This icing is completely deadly. I wanted to swim in the darn stuff 🙂
Shortly before serving, drizzle that perfect icing right on top. It will drip down the sides, but no worries, more to dip your cake slices into.
Enjoy!

recipe for chocolate peanut butter bundt cake calls for a small can of condensed milk for the frosting. How many ounces is this? What is a small can? Sorry.
thanks
What a huge disappointment!!! Looks so good tastes like… Well nothing. This is the most flavorless cake I’ve ever made/eaten. I made it as she suggested even added the chocolate chips and I am shocked how something with so many tasty components can turn out to have no flavor. I love to bake and do it all the time so am stunned how tasteless this is. I keep taking bites hoping for flavor but still nothing. I would have been better off making the cake according to its directions and putting some canned frosting on top. Which to me is a no no. I’m embarrassed to take this any where. HUGE WAST OF TIME CALORIES AND MONEY!!!!
Just stumbled upon your site two days ago via Add A Pinch and I made this cake today… Amazing! My family loved it as well. Thank you so much for this great recipe, I’m fairly new to baking but I did well. Lol
Thank you so much! You’re awesome, can’t wait to make it!!
Ok, this is in my oven baking as I type. It smells heavenly!! I’m bringing it to a family gathering tomorrow. I have a question. How is the icing the 2nd day? Can I make up the icing today and just pour it on at the party or should I make it tomorrow when I’m at the party? Thanks for your help.

Definitely ice right before the party 🙂 Enjoy!!
