- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
For the Topping (optional):
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Prepare the cake: Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, then fold in dry ingredients. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then roll up in a towel to cool.
- Make the filling: Beat peanut butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Whip heavy cream and fold into the peanut butter mixture.
- Assemble the cake roll: Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling, roll it back up, and top with melted chocolate, peanut butter, and garnishes. Chill before slicing.
Notes
- Avoid overbaking the cake to prevent cracking.
