Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 6 Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Dairy and Fat Components:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, lightly coating with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Sift together dry ingredients including flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Whip eggs until they become light and airy, then gradually incorporate melted butter and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Gently fold wet and dry ingredients together, being careful not to overmix and deflate the batter.
- Carefully spread the cake batter evenly across the prepared baking sheet, creating a thin, uniform layer.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should come out clean with no raw batter.
- Immediately transfer the hot cake onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar, preventing sticking and allowing easy rolling.
- Spread a generous layer of peanut butter across the warm cake surface, ensuring even coverage.
- Sprinkle chopped Reese’s pieces uniformly over the peanut butter layer for added texture and flavor.
- Using the towel as a guide, carefully and tightly roll the cake from one end to the other, creating a compact cylindrical shape.
- Chill the rolled cake for 30 minutes to set the shape and enhance flavor melding.
- Before serving, garnish with a delicate drizzle of whipped cream and additional Reese’s pieces for visual appeal.
Notes
- Prevent cake cracking by rolling the cake while it’s still warm and flexible, using a powdered sugar-dusted towel to help release it smoothly.
- Chop Reese’s cups into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution and a consistent texture throughout the roll cake.
- Experiment with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version, which maintains the cake’s soft texture and rich chocolate flavor.
- Chill the roll cake for 30 minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape and create cleaner, more precise cuts when serving.
