Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
Filling Ingredients:
- 1 cup (250 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping/Decoration Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (170 g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly coat a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with non-stick spray.
- Whisk cake mix, eggs, oil, and water in a large mixing bowl until the batter achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, verifying doneness by inserting a toothpick that comes out clean.
- During baking, craft the peanut butter filling by blending peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Create chocolate ganache by gently heating heavy cream until it reaches a light simmer, then pouring over chocolate chips and stirring until glossy and uniform.
- Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, carefully spread the peanut butter filling across the warm surface.
- Gently roll the cake from one of the shorter edges, ensuring a tight and even rotation.
- Allow the rolled cake to cool completely at room temperature.
- Drizzle the prepared chocolate ganache generously over the cooled cake, creating an elegant finish.
- Slice into neat portions and serve at room temperature.
Notes
- Warm cake makes spreading filling easier and helps prevent cracking when rolling.
- Use parchment paper to help roll the cake smoothly without sticking.
- For gluten-free version, swap regular cake mix with gluten-free alternative and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- Room temperature ingredients blend more evenly, creating a smoother, more consistent cake texture.
