Scale
Cake:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
Filling:
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (cold)
Topping:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Chopped peanuts or mini chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- Prepare the cake: Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Beat eggs with sugars until thick. Mix in vanilla and milk. Fold in dry ingredients. Bake for 10–12 minutes.
- Roll the cake: Invert the warm cake onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar. Roll it up and let it cool.
- Make the filling: Beat peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Whip cold cream to stiff peaks, then fold into the peanut butter mixture.
- Assemble: Unroll the cake, spread the filling, and roll it back up. Place seam-side down on a platter.
- Prepare the topping: Heat cream, pour over chocolate chips, stir until smooth. Pour over the cake roll. Garnish if desired. Chill before slicing.
Notes
- The cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
- For cleaner slices, wipe the knife between cuts.
- Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet filling, or swirl in some Nutella for extra indulgence.
