Description

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake Roulade is a decadent dessert that combines the classic flavor duo of chocolate and peanut butter in a soft, rolled sponge cake. With a rich, creamy filling and a tender chocolate base, this elegant treat is perfect for special occasions or whenever you’re craving something sweet and satisfying.


Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup milk

For the Filling:

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

  2. Make Cake Batter:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
    In a large bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and milk.
    Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until combined.

  3. Bake the Cake:
    Spread the batter evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool slightly.

  4. Make Filling:
    Mix peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold whipped cream into peanut butter mixture until fluffy and smooth.

  5. Roll the Cake:
    Carefully invert the warm cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with cocoa powder. Peel off parchment. Spread the filling evenly over the cake.

  6. Form the Roulade:
    Gently roll the cake into a log using the towel to guide you. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.

  7. Serve:
    Unwrap, slice, and serve chilled. Enjoy every bite of chocolate and peanut butter bliss!


Notes

  • Dust the towel generously with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

  • Add mini chocolate chips or chopped peanuts to the filling for texture.

  • For a festive look, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
