Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it’s heating, I like to gather all my ingredients and equipment so I can get organized. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, creamy peanut butter, milk, melted butter, vanilla, and eggs. I grab my whisk and mix everything until the batter is smooth and well mixed. It should have a rich, chocolatey aroma that fills my kitchen with warmth and anticipation. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
