Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream (for filling)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for glaze)
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the egg mixture. Add vanilla extract.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes until the cake springs back to the touch.
- While the cake is still warm, invert it onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment and roll the cake with the towel. Let it cool completely.
- For the filling, beat peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and 2 tablespoons cream until smooth and fluffy.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the peanut butter filling evenly, and re-roll tightly without the towel.
- To make the glaze, heat 1/2 cup cream and pour it over chopped chocolate. Let sit, then stir until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate glaze over the rolled cake and smooth the surface. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts if using.
- Chill the roll until the glaze sets. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracking.
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth filling or crunchy for added texture.
- Let the roll chill fully before slicing for clean cuts.
- Freezes well wrapped in plastic and foil; thaw in the fridge before serving.
- Bring to room temperature before serving for best texture.
