- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar 🍬
- Two teaspoons of brewed coffee or water.
- One teaspoon of vanilla extract 🍨
- ¼ cup (20g) of unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon of salt.
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder. 🍰
- ¾ cup (93g) of all-purpose flour.
- Powdered sugar (to roll) 🍚
- For the filling and topping:
- Two ounces (113g) of softened cream cheese 🧀
- ⅓ cup (89 g) peanut butter.
- One cup (113g) powdered sugar 🍚
- One teaspoon of vanilla extract 🍨
- 4 tbsp + ⅔ cup (59ml + 158ml) heavy whipping cream.
- 7 normal size Reese’s peanut butter cups, chopped (about 1 cup chopped)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (🍫)
Instructions:
Make the cake:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with foil and spray with cooking spray (ideally flour).
- In a mixing bowl, beat eggs on high speed for 3 minutes until foamy and dark yellow. Combine sugar, brewed coffee (or water), and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Mix in cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder, then gradually add flour until just mixed.
- Use a spatula to distribute the thin batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until it springs back when lightly pressed on top.
- While the cake bakes, place a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and sprinkle with ¼ cup powdered sugar.
- When the cake is finished, quickly flip it out onto the prepared towel. Carefully remove the foil. Roll the cake from one short end, using the towel as a guide, and allow to cool entirely.
Make the filling:
- In a mixing dish, combine the cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until crumbly. Then, add the vanilla essence and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Mix until smooth, then add up to two more tablespoons of cream to achieve a spreadable consistency.
- 8. Add ½ cup of chopped peanut butter cups.
Assemble the Cake
- Step 9: Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread the peanut butter filling over the cake, leaving a 1-inch border at either end.
- Roll the cake tightly and scrape out any spilled filling. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
Make the topping:
- Combine chocolate chips and 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-60 seconds and then whisk until smooth. Chill the ganache for 20 minutes or freeze for 10 minutes until it reaches a pourable consistency.
- 2. Place the cake on a wire rack placed over a cookie sheet. Pour the ganache evenly on top and allow it to flow down the sides. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped peanut butter cups.
- 3. Chill the cake for about 30 minutes to allow the ganache to harden.
Serve:
- Slice and serve the cold cake roll. Enjoy!
Storage:
- Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
