Ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- Ingredients listed on the cake mix box (eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Sea salt, for sprinkling
Directions:
- Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan to ensure your cake doesn’t stick.
- Cake Batter: Follow the instructions on the chocolate cake mix box to prepare the batter. This usually involves mixing in eggs, oil, and water until smooth and well-combined.
- Layering: Pour half of the prepared cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for half of the recommended time.
- Peanut Butter Mixture: While the cake is baking, let’s work on our irresistible peanut butter layer. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the creamy peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Building the Layers: Once the cake has baked for half of the recommended time, remove it from the oven. Pour the peanut butter mixture evenly over the partially baked cake, creating a luscious layer of creamy goodness.
- Caramel Drizzle: Next, drizzle the caramel sauce over the peanut butter layer, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Sprinkle half of the toffee bits and chocolate chips on top, adding delightful bursts of sweetness and texture.
- Second Cake Layer: Carefully pour the remaining cake batter over the caramel and chocolate chip layer, covering it completely. Sprinkle the remaining toffee bits and chocolate chips on top for that extra indulgence.
- Final Bake: Return the cake to the oven and bake for the remaining time indicated on the cake mix box, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be simply irresistible!
- Cooling and Serving: Once baked to perfection, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Just before indulging, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top for an unexpected burst of flavor that elevates every bite.
