Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Can substitute with crunchy for added texture.
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chopped Reese's peanut butter cups Can sprinkle whole if short on time.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  • Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared pan.

Baking

  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
  • Once baked, allow the cake to cool slightly. Roll it up with a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar, then let it cool completely.

Filling and Assembly

  • In another bowl, mix creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and heavy cream until creamy.
  • Gently unroll the cake, spread the peanut butter mixture evenly, and sprinkle the chopped Reese's cups on top.
  • Roll the cake back up tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.

Serving

  • Slice the roll cake and serve. Enjoy with chocolate sauce or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Make sure the cake is completely cool before rolling to avoid cracks. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
