Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Cake Layers:

  • 2 cups  all-purpose flour
  • 1¾ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

For the Peanut Butter Ice Cream Layer:

  • 4 cup  peanut butter ice cream, softened

For the Fudge Sauce:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1  teaspoon vanilla extract

For Assembly:

  • 1 cup chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Optional

  • Whipped cream, for garnish 
  • Additional Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, for decoration 

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chocolate Cake Layers:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
    In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
    Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined (the batter will be thin).
    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
    Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
    Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Prepare the Fudge Sauce:
    In a small saucepan, combine the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and butter over medium-low heat.
    Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
    Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the fudge sauce cool slightly.
  • Assemble the Ice Cream Cake:
    Place one cooled chocolate cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
    Spread half of the softened peanut butter ice cream over the top of the cake layer, using a spatula to smooth it out into an even layer.
    Drizzle half of the fudge sauce over the ice cream layer, then sprinkle with half of the chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
    Top with the second chocolate cake layer.
    Repeat the layering process with the remaining ice cream, fudge sauce, and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
    If desired, decorate the top of the cake with additional whipped cream and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
  • Chill the Cake:
    Place the assembled ice cream cake in the freezer to chill for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    Before serving, let the ice cream cake sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
    Slice the ice cream cake using a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.
    Serve slices of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Cake with extra fudge sauce and whipped cream, if desired.
    Enjoy the heavenly combination of chocolate cake, peanut butter ice cream, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!
