Cake Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup chocolate ganache (for filling)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • When done, remove from oven and immediately roll the cake with the parchment paper while it’s warm. Let it cool completely.
  • Once cooled, unroll the cake and spread the peanut butter and chocolate ganache over the surface.
  • Roll the cake again, without the parchment paper, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Make sure to roll the cake while it is still warm to prevent cracking. For extra gooeyness, be generous with the peanut butter and ganache. You can use milk or dark chocolate for the ganache.
