How to Make Peanut Butter Cup Dump Cake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Pour the rich chocolate batter over the peanut butter layer.
Sprinkle the mini peanut butter cups generously on top of the batter.
Bake for 35-40 minutes. Check for doneness using a toothpick.
Let the cake rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
