Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Roll Cake

Prepare the Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease it lightly.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.

Roll the Cake:

8. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
9. Carefully invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
10. Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up with the towel, starting from the short end. Allow it to cool completely in the rolled position.

Prepare the Filling:

11. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
12. Gradually add in the heavy cream and mix until well combined and fluffy.

Assemble the Cake:

13. Once the cake has cooled, unroll it gently and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the surface.
14. Roll the cake back up without the towel, starting from the short end again. Place seam-side down on a serving platter.

Prepare the Ganache:

15. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
16. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.

Finish the Cake:

17. Pour the chocolate ganache over the rolled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
18. Garnish with chopped mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and crushed peanuts.

Serve:

19. Slice the roll cake into pieces and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
