Banana Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling 🍌🍰🧀:
Ingredients 🍌
– For the Cake Roll:
– 3 large eggs 🥚
– 1 cup granulated sugar 🧂
– 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 bananas) 🍌
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍰
– 1 cup all-purpose flour 🍞
– 1 teaspoon baking powder 🧁
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 🧁
– 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
– For the Cream Cheese Filling:
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 🧈
– 2 cups powdered sugar 🧂
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍰
Preparation 🍳
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper. 🕒🔥
2. Prepare Cake Batter: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until well combined. 🍌🥚🍰
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, mixing until just combined. 🍞🧁🧂
4. Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched. 🕒🍰
5. Cool Cake: Once baked, immediately turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper and carefully roll the cake up with the towel while it’s still warm. Allow it to cool completely in the rolled position. 🍰🕒
6. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy. 🧀🧈🧂🍰
7. Unroll and Fill Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, gently unroll it. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges. 🍰🧀
8. Roll Up Cake: Carefully re-roll the cake (without the towel) into a log shape. Place seam-side down on a serving platter. 🍰🧀
9. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake roll for at least 1 hour before slicing. Serve and enjoy your Banana Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling! 😋🍽️
