Description
A soft chocolate cake rolled with creamy peanut butter filling, perfect for parties or a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Line a 15ร10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla extract, then mix well.
- In another bowl, sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Remove the cake from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment and roll the cake up in the towel from one short edge. Let it cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly on top. Carefully roll the cake back up and place it seam-side down on a serving plate.
- Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until just simmering. Pour it over the chocolate chips and let it sit for a few minutes. Stir until smooth and drizzle it over the rolled cake.
- Slice and enjoy your chocolate-peanut butter creation!
Notes
Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracking and chill the filled roll to keep the shape.
