Equipment

  • 1 Jelly roll pan (10x15 inch)

  • 4 oz Cream cheese - Softened
  • ½ cup Chocolate chips - For drizzle
  • ¼ cup Peanut butter cups - Chopped

Instructions 

  • Whisk the eggs and sugar on high speed for five minutes until thick and pale.
  • Fold in the sifted flour and cocoa by hand to maintain the batter volume.
  • Bake the thin layer of batter at 350°F for 12 minutes until springy.
