Peanut Butter Roll Cake (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour.
02 - 1 teaspoon baking powder.
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt.
04 - 3 large eggs.
05 - 1 cup granulated sugar.
06 - 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
07 - 1/4 cup boiling water.
08 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cake).
09 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter.
10 - 1 cup powdered sugar.
11 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened.
12 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling).
13 - 1 cup heavy cream.
14 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
15 - 1/2 cup chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (for garnish).

Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with greased parchment paper.
02 - Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
03 - In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until fluffy. Add cocoa powder and vanilla.
04 - Gradually mix in the dry ingredients. Pour in boiling water and stir until smooth.
05 - Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
06 - Turn the cake onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar. Remove the parchment and roll the cake with the towel from a short side. Let it cool completely.
07 - For the filling, beat peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla until creamy.
08 - Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, and re-roll the cake without the towel. Place the seam underneath.
09 - Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering, then add chocolate chips. Stir until smooth to make the ganache.
10 - Drizzle the ganache over the rolled cake and spread it evenly.
11 - Garnish with chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, allow the ganache to set, then slice and enjoy.

Notes:

01 - Dust the towel with powdered sugar to prevent the cake from sticking.
02 - Let the cake cool completely before adding the filling to avoid melting.
03 - Use Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for garnish to enhance the peanut butter flavor.
