    Peanut Butter Cup Punch Bowl Cake

    This is an easy dessert recipe for punch bowl cake that EVERYONE will want the recipe for. The idea came from my mom. She has a similar recipe for this that gets rave results. We put a TINY little twist on her recipe for an extra layer of peanut butter cup flavor.

    We used International Delight® REESE'S® Peanut Butter Cup Creamer from International Delight not only in our hot cup of coffee but also in our dessert.

    Here's how we made this Punch Bowl Cake:

    1. Bake a yellow cake mix according to package directions. Crumble the cooled cake.
    2. Beat together egg yolks, powdered sugar and melted butter until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.
    3. In a large bowl or trifle dish, alternate layers of crumbled cake, whipped filling, and crushed peanut butter cups.
    4. Top with a final layer of whipped topping and peanut butter cups.
    5. Chill overnight and serve!

     

    TIP: Instead of making your cake mix with just water, use half water and half International Delight® REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cup creamer. This makes your cake super-moist and gives it more of that peanut butter and chocolate flavor.

    More tips on making this punch bowl cake super delicious:

    • Fold the whipped topping by hand into the sugar, egg and butter mixture to keep it light and fluffy.
    • Make crumbling the cake easy by using the large side of a box grater.
    • Chill overnight so all of the flavors come together and the punch bowl cake is super moist.
