Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed (about ½ cup)
- 1 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 225 g (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 ml) whipped cream
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch (25×38 cm) jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla until thick and pale (about 3 minutes).
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Mash the banana with milk until smooth, then gently fold it into the egg mixture along with the dry ingredients.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched.
- While still warm, turn the cake out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
- Peel off the parchment and roll the cake (with the towel) starting from the short end. Let it cool completely (about 45 minutes).
- Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
- In another bowl, whip heavy cream and vanilla to stiff peaks.
- Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
- Carefully unroll the cooled cake. Spread an even layer of the cheesecake filling over the surface.
- Place whole bananas along one short edge and gently roll the cake back up without squeezing.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Spread whipped cream over the top and garnish with banana slices.
- Dust with powdered sugar and a sprinkle of crushed nuts (optional).
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- For best results, refrigerate overnight before serving.
- Optional: Add crushed nuts for extra texture.
