Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chocolate Cake:
    • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 4 large eggs, room temperature
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • For the Peanut Butter Filling:
    • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 cups powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 23 tablespoons heavy cream
  • For the Chocolate Ganache:
    • 1/2 cup heavy cream
    • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cake:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan and line with parchment paper.
    • Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar on high for 3-5 minutes until pale and fluffy. Add oil and vanilla; mix well.
    • Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, starting and ending with dry. Mix until just combined.
    • Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
    • Roll the warm cake with parchment inside and let it cool completely.
  • Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
    • Beat peanut butter and softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla. Add heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until fluffy.
  • Assemble the Cake Roll:
    • Unroll the cooled cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly. Roll the cake back up (remove parchment) and place seam-side down on a serving plate.
  • Prepare the Chocolate Ganache:
    • Heat heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  • Decorate and Serve:
    • Pour chocolate ganache over the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

Best served chilled; store leftovers in the refrigerator.
