How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Poke Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the devil's food cake mix, oil, eggs, and 1 cup of milk. Blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1½ cups of milk with the instant vanilla pudding mix until thickened. Add peanut butter and mix until smooth.
  5. Once the cake is cooled, poke holes about 1 inch apart and 2 inches deep all over the cake.
  6. Drizzle chocolate syrup over the holes, then spread the creamy filling over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
  7. Spread the thawed whipped topping over the cake. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
  8. Optionally, drizzle more chocolate syrup or sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups on top before serving.
