Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free blend for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder For rich chocolate flavor.
  • 1 tsp baking powder Helps the cake rise.
  • 1/2 tsp salt Enhances flavors.
  • 3 large eggs Lightly beaten before adding to mixture.
  • 1/2 cup milk Can substitute with almond or oat milk.
For the Peanut Butter Filling
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter The star of the filling.
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar Sweetens the filling.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds depth to the flavor.
Optional Topping
  • 1 cup chocolate ganache or frosting For drizzling or spreading on top.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  5. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
  2. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Once baked, let it cool for about 5 minutes in the pan before inverting onto a powdered sugar-dusted kitchen towel.
Assembly
  1. In a bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled cake.
  2. Starting from one end, carefully roll the cake with the towel, ensuring the filling stays intact. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Drizzle or spread the chocolate ganache or frosting over the rolled cake before slicing.

Notes

Serve chilled or at room temperature. Pair with fresh berries or whipped cream for a delightful touch. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; can freeze for up to 3 months.
