- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- For the Filling:

- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- For the Ganache:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Topping:

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs for 5 minutes until thick and lemon-colored.
- Gradually add sugar and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the egg mixture.
- Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Immediately turn the cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Remove parchment paper and roll the cake in the towel. Cool completely.
- To make the filling, beat butter and peanut butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, then heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread filling evenly. Roll up the cake again and refrigerate.
- For ganache, heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Let cool slightly before pouring over the cake.
- Sprinkle chopped Reese’s cups over the ganache. Chill until set before slicing.
Notes
- To prevent cracking, roll the cake while still warm.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal from the pan.
- Best served chilled. Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
