Instructions
- Chocolate Roll Cake
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
- Line a 25×35 cm (10×15 inch) jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Beat the eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and fluffy (5–6 minutes).
- Mix in the vanilla and milk.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture.
- Spread the batter evenly in the pan.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes — the cake should spring back when touched.
- Roll the Cakes
- While the cakes are still warm, turn them out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Carefully remove the parchment paper.
- Roll the cakes up from the short side using the towel.
- Let cool completely.
- Peanut Butter Filling
- Beat the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Whip the cold cream and slowly fold it into the peanut butter.
- Add vanilla and mix until creamy and spreadable.
- Assembly
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake.
- Spread the peanut butter filling evenly, leaving a small border.
- Roll up tightly without a towel.
- Chill for 30 minutes.
- Chocolate Sauce
- Heat the cream until it comes to a boil (do not boil).
- Pour over the chocolate, wait 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
- Drizzle or spread over the roll cake.
- Garnish
- Mini peanut butter chocolates
- Chopped peanuts
- Chocolate sauce
Notes
- Don’t overcook — dryness causes cracking.

- Cool before slicing for even cuts.
