Preheat Oven:

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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
