Indulge in pure bliss with this Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Roulade! 🍫🥜 It’s a perfect twist on classic flavors that will amaze your taste buds.
Here’s what you’ll need:
For the chocolate cake:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 tsp baking powder
– 1/4 tsp salt
For the peanut butter filling:
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the ganache (optional):
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat the 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 bowl, beat together the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
3. In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing until well combined.
4. Pour the batter onto the prepared jelly roll pan, spreading it into an even layer. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
5. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up in the towel, starting from one of the short edges. Let it cool completely.
6. For the peanut butter filling, in a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
7. Unroll the cooled cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over it. Roll the cake back up carefully and place it seam-side down on a serving plate.
8. To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour it over the chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for a few minutes. Stir until smooth.
9. Drizzle the ganache over the rolled cake. Slice and serve decorated as desired.
Enjoy this chocolate-peanut butter dream!
