- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (95 g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (30 g) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dusting Ingredient:
- Powdered sugar
Filling Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 g) creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (250 g) powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
Chocolate Ganache Ingredients (Optional):
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a toasty 375F (190C), ensuring an even temperature throughout the baking chamber.
- Meticulously prepare the jelly roll pan by applying a light grease coating and carefully lining it with parchment paper for seamless removal.
- Craft a smooth, consistent mixture by blending peanut butter and softened butter until completely integrated and luxuriously creamy.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar into the buttery foundation, stirring methodically to create a uniform, moldable dough that holds its shape.
- Knead the mixture gently, ensuring no dry sugar crystals remain and the texture becomes perfectly cohesive and pliable.
- Transfer the prepared dough onto the lined pan, using gentle fingertips to spread it evenly across the surface, creating a uniform layer.
- Carefully shape the dough into a rectangular form, pressing and smoothing the edges to achieve a precise, clean outline.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven, allowing the mixture to transform and set with gentle, consistent heat.
- Bake until the edges turn a delicate golden brown, indicating the perfect level of doneness and flavor development.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pan to cool completely on a wire rack, letting the residual heat finish the final setting process.
- Once cooled, melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring periodically to maintain a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the cooled base, creating an elegant and decadent final layer.
- Refrigerate briefly to help the chocolate set quickly and achieve a crisp, glossy finish.
- Slice into classic rectangular or triangular pieces, serving as a delightful sweet treat perfect for sharing.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and consistent texture in the Buckeye Roll.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent a tough, dense final product and maintain a light, tender crumb.
- Spread the batter evenly in the pan for uniform baking and consistent thickness throughout the roll.
- Consider dusting the parchment paper with a light layer of cocoa powder or powdered sugar to prevent sticking and add a subtle flavor boost.
