Description
A delightful dessert combining sweet bananas and rich caramel in a light, fluffy rolled sponge cake.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs, separated
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for sponge)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for filling)
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for caramel)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for caramel)
- Pinch of salt
- Crushed graham crackers for garnish
- Banana slices for garnish
- Powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla.
- In another bowl, whisk egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold into the yolk mixture, then gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes.
- Turn the baked sponge out immediately onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar. Roll up the sponge with the towel and let it cool completely.
- For the filling, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled sponge, spread the whipped cream filling evenly, and top with sliced bananas. Roll it back up without the towel.
- To make the caramel sauce, combine brown sugar, cream, butter, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly, bringing it to a boil until it thickens.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the roulade, sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and banana slices, and dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
