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.

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.

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.

Drizzle the ganache over the rolled cake and spread it evenly.

Garnish with chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, allow the ganache to set, then slice and enjoy.
Notes:

Dust the towel with powdered sugar to prevent the cake from sticking.

Let the cake cool completely before adding the filling to avoid melting.
