Description
A decadent dessert that beautifully combines rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter in a delightful rolled cake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the filling)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (to adjust consistency)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your 15×10 inch jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing it.
- Beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix gently.
- Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula until just combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes, then invert the cake onto a powdered sugar-sprinkled towel and roll it up.
- Let it cool completely in this rolled shape.
- Prepare the peanut butter filling by beating together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the surface.
- Roll the cake back up, seam-side down.
- Heat the heavy cream until simmering and stir in the chocolate chips until melted into a ganache.
- Drizzle the ganache over the roulade and slice to serve.
Notes
Ensure room temperature eggs are used for better incorporation and avoid overmixing the batter.
