Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Powdered sugar for dusting the towel

- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 1/4 cup whipped cream for garnish (optional)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10 x 15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl beat the eggs with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add granulated sugar and continue beating until pale and thick.
- Mix in vanilla extract and milk.
- In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar.
- Turn the warm cake onto the towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper.
- Roll the cake with the towel from the short side and allow it to cool completely.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until creamy.
- In a separate bowl whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Gently fold in the mashed banana.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the filling evenly over the surface.
- Roll the cake back up without the towel and place seam-side down.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with whipped cream and banana slices if desired.
Notes
- Roll the cake while it is still warm to prevent cracking.
- Use a ripe banana with brown spots for the best sweetness and flavor.
- Chocolate chips or chopped nuts can be added to the filling for texture.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the filling before rolling for a richer flavor.
- Keep the cake chilled until serving for the best texture.
