FAQ:

Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy? Yes! Crunchy peanut butter will give the cake a bit more texture, but creamy peanut butter is typically preferred for the smooth filling.

Can I make this cake ahead of time? Absolutely! This cake actually tastes even better after a day or two, as the flavors meld together. Just store it in an airtight container and enjoy.

Can I use a different cake mix? Yes, you can use any chocolate cake mix of your choice. If you prefer a lighter cake, a regular chocolate cake mix will work just fine.
