Description

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Dream Roll is a decadent and fluffy jelly roll cake featuring a moist chocolate base layered with a creamy peanut butter and whipped topping filling. Chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups add delightful texture and rich flavor, making it a perfect treat for peanut butter and chocolate lovers. Easy to prepare with a boxed cake mix, this dessert is rolled to create an impressive yet simple presentation perfect for gatherings and celebrations.

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • Ingredients listed on the cake mix box (usually eggs, water, and oil)

Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups whipped topping (such as whipped cream or whipped non-dairy topping)
  • 1 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups

Garnish

  • Extra whipped topping (for garnish)
  • Extra chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) or the temperature directed on the cake mix box. Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare cake batter: Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, mixing the required eggs, water, and oil. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly for uniform baking.
  3. Bake the cake: Bake the cake for 12–15 minutes until it is set but still soft to the touch. Be careful not to overbake to avoid cracking during rolling.
  4. Roll the warm cake: While the cake is still warm, use the parchment paper to gently roll the cake from the short end into a log shape. Allow it to cool completely while rolled to maintain its shape.
  5. Make the filling: In a bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and whipped topping. Mix until smooth and fluffy to create a light, creamy filling.
  6. Unroll and fill the cake: Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the entire surface, then sprinkle the chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups evenly over the filling.
  7. Re-roll the cake: Gently re-roll the cake without the parchment paper, keeping it tight but being careful not to crack the cake. Place the roll seam-side down on a serving plate.
  8. Chill and garnish: Refrigerate the roll for at least 1 hour to allow it to set firmly. Before serving, top with extra whipped topping and sprinkle more chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups if desired for extra decoration and flavor.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overbake the cake to prevent cracking when rolling.
  • Allow the rolled cake to cool completely before unrolling for filling to reduce breakage.
  • Use parchment paper for easy rolling and removal of the cake.
  • Chilling the roll helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
  • For a dairy-free version, use whipped non-dairy topping and ensure the cake mix is dairy-free.
