Ingredients
6 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream (divided)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Spray lightly with nonstick spray.
2. Separate eggs and beat yolks with sugar and vanilla until pale and thick.
3. In another bowl, beat egg whites to stiff peaks.
4. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into egg yolk mixture.
5. Fold in egg whites carefully until fully incorporated.
6. Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake for 10–12 minutes.
7. While warm, invert onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment and roll gently with the towel. Let cool completely.
8. For the filling, beat peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1/4 cup heavy cream until fluffy.
9. Unroll the cake, spread filling evenly, then re-roll without the towel.
10. Heat 3/4 cup heavy cream and pour over chocolate chips. Let sit, then stir to make ganache.
11. Pour ganache over the cake roll and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
Notes
Always roll the cake while it’s warm to prevent cracking.
Use no-stir creamy peanut butter for best texture in the filling.
Let the ganache set for 10–15 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
