Chocolate & Peanut Butter Dream Roll

Directions

Preheat oven:

– Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment and lightly grease.

Make the cake:

– In a large bowl, beat eggs for 5 minutes until thick. Gradually add sugar, then vanilla.

– In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold dry ingredients into egg mixture until smooth.

Bake:

– Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until cake springs back when touched.

Roll the cake:

– While still hot, dust a clean towel with powdered sugar. Invert the cake onto the towel, peel off parchment, and gently roll it up with the towel. Let cool completely.

Make the filling:

– Beat together peanut butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.

Assemble:

– Unroll the cooled cake, spread filling evenly, then re-roll without the towel. Transfer to serving platter.

Decorate:

– Drizzle with melted chocolate and top with crushed peanuts or chocolate shavings, if desired
