Equipment

  • 1 baking tray (15x10 inch)
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 clean kitchen towel
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 100 grams granulated sugar
  • 100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 100 grams caramel sauce
  • 200 milliliters heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • optional extra banana slices
  • optional additional caramel sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line your baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, use the electric mixer to whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture thickens and becomes pale, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture and gently fold in using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter.
  • Add the vanilla extract and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray, spreading evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cake is golden and springs back when touched.
  • Once out of the oven, immediately turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up in the towel from one end. Let it cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the mashed bananas and caramel sauce over low heat. Stir until warmed through and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  • Unroll the cooled sponge and spread the whipped cream over the surface. Spoon the banana caramel mixture evenly on top.
  • Carefully roll the cake back up without the towel, and place seam-side down on a serving platter.
  • Chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
  • Serve with additional banana slices and a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.

Notes

Make sure to allow the roulade to cool fully before rolling to prevent cracking.
This dessert can be made a day in advance; just keep it covered in the fridge.
For a more decadent dessert, add chocolate shavings or nuts to the filling.
