Description

A decadent chocolate cake rolled around a creamy, peanut butter and cream cheese filling, dusted with cocoa powder for a rich finish. This no-fuss dessert is perfect for peanut butter lovers seeking a show-stopping treat.


Ingredients

Scale

For the cake:

  • Cooking spray, for pan

  • 3 eggs

  • 2/3 cup sugar

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ tsp salt

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder, plus more for dusting

  • ¾ cup flour

For the filling:

  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter

  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

  • ¼ cup butter, softened to room temperature

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • ¼ cup whole milk

  • ½ tsp salt


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.

  • In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick and pale.

  • Add vanilla, salt, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Mix until combined.

  • Gently fold in the flour until fully incorporated.

  • Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 12–15 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.

  • While the cake is baking, prepare a clean kitchen towel and dust it generously with cocoa powder.

  • Once baked, immediately invert the cake onto the towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper.

  • Starting from the short edge, gently roll the cake and towel together. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

  • For the filling, beat together peanut butter, cream cheese, and butter until smooth and creamy.

  • Gradually add powdered sugar, then milk and salt, beating until fluffy.

  • Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the surface.

  • Re-roll the cake (without the towel), wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

  • Dust with additional cocoa powder before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the cake is still warm when rolling to prevent cracking.
  • Use a good quality creamy peanut butter for best flavor and texture.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
