Instructions
Preparing the Cake
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool and Roll: Allow the cake to cool slightly, then invert onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper, roll the cake with the towel from the short end, and let it cool completely.
Preparing the Filling
- Mix Filling: Beat together peanut butter, powdered sugar, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.
- Unroll and Fill: Carefully unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small margin at the edges to prevent spilling.
- Re-roll: Roll the cake back up, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least an hour to set.
Garnishing and Serving
- Garnish: After the cake has chilled, sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips, pressing them lightly to adhere.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the cake into slices and serve chilled or at room temperature.
