Description
A delicious dessert that combines the rich flavors of peanut butter and chocolate in a light, fluffy Swiss roll.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup chocolate ganache or melted chocolate
- to taste chopped peanuts
- to taste mini peanut butter cups for decoration
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
-
In a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture.
-
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared jelly roll pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Let it cool for a few minutes before turning it out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Gently peel away the parchment paper.
-
While still warm, roll the cake up with the towel from the short end. Allow it to cool completely.
-
Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread an even layer of whipped cream. Gently spread the peanut butter over the cream layer.
-
Re-roll the cake without the towel. Place the roll seam-side down on a serving platter.
-
Pour the chocolate ganache or melted chocolate over the roll. Decorate with chopped peanuts and mini peanut butter cups.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is warm, not hot, when rolling to prevent cracking.
- Use a serrated knife to slice the roll for clean cuts.
- Adjust the sweetness of the peanut butter and chocolate to taste.
- Consider refrigerating the roll for 30 minutes before slicing to help set the filling.
