A delightful rolled cake combining chocolate and creamy peanut butter, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Crushed peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs on high speed for 5 minutes until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract.
- Fold in the flour mixture, then the milk. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Prepare a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar.
- When the cake is done, immediately turn it onto the prepared towel. Gently peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake with the towel from the short end. Let it cool completely.
- In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
- Carefully unroll the cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over it. Roll the cake back up without the towel.
- For the topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Spread the mixture over the cake roll.
- Sprinkle crushed peanuts on top if desired. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Ensure eggs are well beaten for fluffiness.
