Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, greased.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar on high speed for 5-7 minutes until pale and tripled in volume.
  4. Gently fold dry ingredients into the egg mixture, then drizzle in vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until set and springy.
  6. Remove from oven, invert the sponge onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel and roll tightly while warm.
  7. Whip heavy cream, then mix in creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in chopped peanut butter cups.
  8. Once cooled, gently unroll the sponge and spread the peanut butter filling evenly. Re-roll without the towel.
  9. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Prepare ganache by heating heavy cream and pouring over chocolate chips.
  10. Remove the roll, drizzle ganache over it, slice, and serve.
