Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and instant vanilla pudding mix.
Add 2 cups of milk, peanut butter, eggs, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients.
Using an electric hand mixer, mix on low speed until the ingredients are just combined, then increase the speed to medium and mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
In a small bowl, whisk together 0.25 cup of creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 0.5 cup of powdered sugar until smooth to make the topping.
Drizzle or spread the peanut butter topping over the cooled cake.
Slice and serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
