Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup mini peanut butter cups, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  3. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; gradually fold into the egg mixture until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly; bake for 12-15 minutes until set.
  5. While the cake bakes, sprinkle a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
  6. Once baked, invert the cake onto the towel and roll it up while still warm; let cool for about 10 minutes.
  7. For the filling, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form; fold in powdered sugar and peanut butter until smooth.
  8. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread an even layer of filling over it; sprinkle chopped mini peanut butter cups before rolling it back up gently.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
