Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate ganache or frosting
Chocolate and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Garnish and Topping Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
- Reese’s Pieces for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl to ensure smooth, lump-free dry ingredients.
- Using an electric mixer, whip eggs and sugar for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes pale and forms a thick, ribbony texture.
- Gently incorporate milk and vanilla extract into the egg mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Carefully fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture, maintaining the airiness of the batter.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, creating a thin, consistent layer.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly touched and edges begin to pull away from the pan.
- Immediately after baking, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and carefully invert the hot cake onto the towel.
- Roll the cake with the towel while still warm, allowing it to cool completely in this rolled shape to prevent cracking.
- Prepare the filling by blending peanut butter, powdered sugar, and cream until smooth and spreadable.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly across the surface.
- Sprinkle chopped Reese’s cups over the filling for added texture and flavor.
- Tightly re-roll the cake, pressing gently to secure the filling.
- Drizzle with chocolate ganache and garnish with Reese’s Pieces for a decorative finish.
Notes
- Prep Like a Pro Roll the cake while it’s warm to prevent cracking and ensure a smooth, flexible texture.
- Moisture Magic Dust the towel with powdered sugar to prevent sticking and add a subtle sweetness during the rolling process.
- Filling Finesse Chill the peanut butter filling briefly to make spreading easier and maintain a clean, even layer.
- Chocolate Hack Warm the ganache slightly to create a glossy, drip-like finish that looks professionally made.
