Banana Caramel Roulade 🍌🧡
Ingredients:
For the sponge:
4 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the filling:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, sliced
For the caramel sauce:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For garnish:
Crushed graham crackers
Banana slices
Powdered sugar
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites to soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, whisking until stiff peaks form.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the egg yolk mixture. Then fold in the beaten egg whites carefully to maintain the airiness.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden.
Immediately turn the baked sponge onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar. Roll the sponge with the towel and allow it to cool completely.
For the filling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Unroll the cooled sponge, spread the whipped cream filling evenly, and top with sliced bananas. Roll it back up without the towel.
To make the caramel sauce, combine brown sugar, cream, butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly and bring it to a boil, allowing it to thicken.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the roulade, garnish with crushed graham crackers, banana slices, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
