Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
  • 1 cup chocolate ganache or chocolate frosting
  • Reese’s Pieces or additional mini peanut butter cups for garnish

Optional Substitutions:

For a nut-free version, use almond butter instead of peanut butter. For a gluten-free cake, substitute the flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend.

Instructions

Prepare the Baking Pan and Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the paper to ensure easy removal of the cake.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This step ensures even distribution of ingredients and helps prevent lumps.

3. Beat the Eggs and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes until thick, pale, and frothy. Add in the milk and vanilla extract, gently mixing until combined.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix just until combined; overmixing can make the cake tough.

5. Bake the Cake
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, spreading it to the edges. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cake springs back when lightly touched.

6. Roll the Cake While Warm
While the cake is still warm, gently roll it up in a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. This technique helps prevent cracks. Allow it to cool completely before unrolling.

7. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.

8. Fill and Roll the Cake
Carefully unroll the cooled cake, spread the peanut butter filling over it, and sprinkle chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups on top. Re-roll the cake gently but firmly.

9. Frost and Garnish
Spread chocolate ganache or frosting over the top of the cake roll, and garnish with Reese’s Pieces or additional mini peanut butter cups.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: This will make the mixing process easier and the cake texture smoother.
  • Don’t Overbake the Cake: Overbaking can make the cake dry and difficult to roll.
  • Cool Completely Before Adding Filling: This prevents the filling from melting or becoming runny.
