Peanut Butter Cup Cake Roll

Peanut butter cup cake roll is the perfect cake for peanut butter and chocolate lovers. This easy cake roll recipe is rich chocolate cake filled with creamy peanut butter filling. It’s topped with chocolate ganache and covered in peanut butter cups!

INGREDIENTS
FOR THE CAKE

•  3 large eggs
•  3/4 cup granulated sugar
•  2 teaspoons brewed coffee — or water
•  1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•  1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
•  1/4 teaspoon salt
•  1 teaspoon baking powder
•  3/4 cup all purpose flour
•  Powdered sugar — to aid in rolling

FOR THE FILLING & TOPPING:

•  2 ounces cream cheese — softened
•  1/3 cup peanut butter
•  1 cup powdered sugar
•  1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•  4 tablespoons + 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
•  7 regular size Reese’s peanut butter cups — chopped (about 1 cup chopped)
•  1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

• Make the Cake: preheat oven to 350°F. Line a jelly roll (10x15”) pan with foil and spray with cooking spray (I like to use the spray with flour).
• Beat eggs at high speed for 3 minutes, until frothy and dark yellow. Beat in sugar, coffee or water, and vanilla extract. Mix in cocoa, salt, and baking powder, then mix in flour. Stir just until blended.
• Spread in prepared pan. Batter will be in a very thin layer and you will need to use a wooden spoon or spatula to spread it to all the corners of the pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes. You’ll know it’s done because if you lightly poke the top with your fingertip it will slightly bounce back.
• While the cake is baking, set a clean kitchen towel out on a large work surface. Sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar (about 1/4 cup). As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, turn it over on the kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Remove foil carefully.
• Working at the short end, fold the edge of the towel over the cake. Roll tightly, rolling up the cake into the towel. Let cool completely while rolled, at least one hour (or you can wrap it and chill it overnight).
