Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat together large eggs and granulated sugar on high speed until thick and pale, about 3-5 minutes. Gently mix in vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until smooth. Transfer to your prepared jelly roll pan.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. The cake should spring back when gently touched.
- Invert the hot cake onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with granulated sugar and roll it up from one short end. Allow it to cool completely.
- Beat together creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Fold in chopped peanut butter cups.
- Unroll the cooled cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly. Re-roll the cake tightly without the towel.
- Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until just simmering. Pour over semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth to create ganache.
- Spread the ganache over the rolled cake and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice the roll into portions and serve, optionally garnishing with extra chopped peanut butter cups.

Notes
Ensure your eggs are at room temperature and avoid overmixing for a light and fluffy cake. Check baking time to prevent dryness.
