Step-by-Step Instructions for Reese’s Peanut Butter Earthquake Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat until smooth and well blended, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth, about 2-4 minutes.
  4. Pour half of the chocolate batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth it out evenly. Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the surface.
  5. Pour the remaining chocolate batter over the sweetened condensed milk layer and drizzle peanut butter filling over it, swirling gently with a knife.
  6. Sprinkle chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on top of the swirled batter.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before serving.
