Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour (sifted)
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
Filling:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream (whipped)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then mix in milk until combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Cool for 5 minutes, then flip the cake onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar. Gently roll it up with the towel and let it cool completely.
- For the filling, beat peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. In another bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold it into the peanut butter mixture until light and creamy.
- Unroll the cooled cake carefully and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the surface.
- Re-roll the cake tightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and slice into even rounds.
Notes
Roll the cake while it’s warm to prevent cracking.
Use creamy, no-stir peanut butter for a smooth filling texture.
Dust the towel generously with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
For extra flair, drizzle with melted chocolate or caramel before serving.
Freeze the roll for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
