Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper or grease and flour it.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.
-
Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
-
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
-
While the cake bakes, lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and dust it with powdered sugar.
-
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then, invert it onto the towel and peel off the parchment paper.
-
Gently roll the cake up with the towel and let it cool completely.
-
For the peanut butter filling, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Unroll the cooled cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over it.
-
Roll the cake back up (without the towel) and place it seam-side down on a platter.
-
For the ganache, heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Remove from heat, pour over chocolate chips, and stir until smooth.
-
Pour the ganache over the cake roll and allow it to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Nutty Option: Add crushed peanuts or other nuts to the peanut butter filling for extra crunch.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week. You can freeze the cake roll for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Let the cake sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. You can also microwave individual slices for 10-15 seconds.
