Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons milk (for frosting)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, mix the powdered sugar and milk to create a smooth frosting. Adjust the consistency by adding more sugar or milk as needed.
- Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
- Drizzle the frosting over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in for an indulgent effect.
- Top with crushed peanuts if desired for an extra crunch.
