Method
 

Making the Chocolate Roll
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Beat the eggs and granulated sugar in a separate large bowl for 4–5 minutes until thick and pale.
  4. Incorporate the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture until well combined.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
  7. Invert the cake immediately onto a sugared kitchen towel and roll it tightly while warm.
  8. Prepare the filling by beating together peanut butter and powdered sugar, then add heavy cream and vanilla.
  9. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the cake and re-roll tightly without the towel.
  10. Heat heavy cream in a bowl and pour over the chocolate chips, stirring until smooth for ganache.
  11. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set the ganache before slicing and serving.
