Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 peanut butter cups, chopped
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gently fold dry ingredients into egg mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until cake springs back when lightly touched.
  7. Turn cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar and carefully peel off parchment paper.
  8. Starting from a short edge, roll the cake and towel together; let cool completely.
  9. For the filling: beat peanut butter, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  10. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the surface.
  11. Sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups over the filling.
  12. Roll the cake back up without the towel and transfer to a serving plate.
  13. Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra richness, drizzle melted chocolate over the roll just before serving or refrigerate overnight to let flavors meld.
