banana roll cake made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Fold in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract gently.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the banana mixture.
  • Spread the batter evenly onto the lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cake springs back when gently pressed.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately dust with powdered sugar (optional).
  • Invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar.
  • Carefully roll the cake and towel together from one short end, then let it cool completely.
  • Prepare your filling of choice (like whipped cream) and unroll the cooled cake, spreading the filling evenly.
  • Re-roll the cake with the filling inside, wrapping it tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap.
  • Chill the rolled cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Slice and serve your banana roll cake decorated with additional powdered sugar if desired.
