1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line 15- x 11-inch (38 x 28 cm) rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt twice; set aside.

2

Beat egg yolks and 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar using electric mixer until pale and very thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Beat in vanilla; set aside.

3

Beat egg whites in separate bowl (with clean beaters) on low speed until foamy. Increase speed to high; beat until soft peaks start to form. Beat in remaining sugar, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time, until stiff peaks form.

4

Fold half of the beaten egg whites into egg yolk mixture. Fold in remaining egg whites just until incorporated. Sprinkle flour mixture over top; fold in flour mixture just until blended.

5

Scrape batter into prepared pan; smooth top. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until tester comes out clean when inserted into centre of cake.

6

Sift icing sugar generously onto clean kitchen towel. Run thin knife around edge of cake to loosen from sides of pan; invert onto tea towel. Peel off parchment paper. Starting from one short side, roll up cake with towel to resemble jelly roll. Place rolled cake, seam side down, on rack; cool completely.

7

Filling: Beat cream and sugar until stiff peaks start to form.

8

Unroll cooled cake. Spread evenly with filling, leaving 1-inch (2.5 cm) border all around. Sprinkle with peanut butter chips. Roll up cake (without tea towel). Transfer to parchment paper–lined tray. Chill until ready to glaze.

9

Glaze: Melt together peanut butter chips, butter and honey in heatproof bowl set over saucepan of barely simmering water until smooth. (Alternatively, melt in microwave-safe bowl in microwave on Medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds for 2 to 3 minutes.) Cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

10

Pour glaze over Yule log, spreading to coat evenly. Transfer to serving platter. Dust with icing sugar.

Tip

Garnish with chopped peanuts if desired.
