Peanut Butter Choco Roll
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and line a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat 4 eggs and 1 cup of sugar until thick and pale. Stir in 1/4 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly roll pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. While the cake is baking, lay a clean kitchen towel flat on the counter and sift 1/4 cup of powdered sugar evenly over the towel.
- Once the cake is done, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake and towel together, starting from the short end. Place the rolled cake on a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter with 1/4 cup of heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the surface. Re-roll the cake without the towel and place it seam side down on a serving platter.
- If desired, drizzle the choco roll with 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts for garnish.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
