Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cake:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- For the Ganache:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Toppings:
- 10 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
Instructions
- Make the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Gradually fold in the flour mixture and melted butter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes. Once done, roll the cake in a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar and allow it to cool. - Prepare the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and heavy cream. Unroll the cooled cake, spread the peanut butter filling evenly, then re-roll it. - Make the Ganache & Assemble:
Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering. Pour it over the chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Spread the ganache over the rolled cake. Top with chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Let the ganache set before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a smoother roll, be sure to roll the cake while it’s still warm.
- If your cake cracks slightly, don’t worry—the ganache will cover any imperfections!
- Store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
