Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes.
- Turn the warm cake onto a powdered-sugar-dusted towel, remove parchment, and roll it up with the towel. Let cool completely.
- For the filling, beat peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the peanut butter filling evenly over it.
- Roll the cake back up tightly and place seam-side down.
- For the ganache, heat heavy cream until warm, pour over chocolate chips and butter, then stir until smooth.
- Pour ganache over the cake roll and top with chopped Reese’s cups.
- Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing.
