Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. Make the Cake Batter:
   • Sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
   • In a large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Beat in oil and vanilla.
   • Gently fold in the dry ingredients until the mixture is smooth.
   • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
   • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched.
3. Prepare the Cake for Rolling:
   • Immediately after baking, lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment and roll it up from the short end, with the parchment still attached.
   • Cool on a wire rack completely.
4. Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
   • Beat together peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and heavy cream until smooth and spreadable.
5. Assemble the Roll:
   • Carefully unroll the cake and remove the parchment paper.
   • Spread the peanut butter filling evenly over the cake.
   • Re-roll the cake without the parchment.
6. Make the Chocolate Ganache:
   • Heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
   • Pour over the cake and spread to cover.
7. Decorate:
   • Drizzle peanut butter over the ganache and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
8. Chill and Serve:
   • Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour before slicing.
