The BEST Peanut Butter Poke Cake
Recently, I made a Better-Than-Anything Chocolate Cake and it was one of the best cakes I’ve ever had. I knew I wanted to recreate a peanut butter version because I love all things peanut butter. This peanut butter poke cake is really somethings special! It’s so easy and ready in about 30 minutes. Between the peanut butter, peanut butter chips, and peanut butter cups, peanut butter lovers are going to love the bold peanut butter flavor. I love that the cake itself is super soft and tender, the whipped topping melts in your mouth, and there’s texture from the peanut butter chips and cups. Better than anything, indeed.

Tips for the Best Poke Cake
The main thing to remember when making this peanut butter cake is to poke holes all over the cake. You want to make sure there are no major gaps in the cake where you’ve forgotten to poke a hole. Poke the cake close to the edges too — remember, you want all the peanut butter goodness seeping down into the cake! You also need to be careful when pouring the peanut butter mixture onto the cake. Use the back of a spoon if necessary to spread the mixture into all of the holes. As for the poke cake topping, feel free to use a mixture of chocolate chips and peanut butter chips if you can’t find mini peanut butter cups at your grocery store.
