directions

Cake

To prepare the cake, start by beating the eggs and water with a hand-held mixer on high speed for one minute until the mixture becomes pale and foamy. Next, combine the sugar and vanilla sugar, then add this mixture to the eggs and continue mixing for an additional two minutes.

In a separate bowl, combine both types of flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually add half of this dry mixture to the egg mixture while mixing on low speed. Once incorporated, add the remaining dry ingredients and mix again. Finally, stir in the melted butter until everything is well combined.

Prepare a baking sheet measuring approximately 35×24 cm by greasing it or lining it with baking paper. Pour the batter into the prepared sheet, ensuring the layer is about 1 cm thick.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200-220°C for about 10-15 minutes. Once baked, remove the cake from the tray immediately. Place it on a damp cloth or towel and carefully roll it up. Allow it to cool in this rolled shape.

Filling

Whip the heavy cream until it reaches a creamy consistency, but avoid overwhipping it to the point of firmness. In a separate bowl, combine the peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Next, gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until everything is fully combined.

Unroll the cake and spread a layer of the prepared cream over it. Then, carefully roll the cake back up. Use any remaining cream to cover the outside of the cake, and decorate it as desired.
