Equipment

  • 1 10x15 inch baking tray
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 sifter
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 plastic wrap

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 100 grams granulated sugar
  • 100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch salt
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 200 grams mascarpone cheese
  • 50 grams powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 150 grams granulated sugar
  • 50 ml water
  • 100 ml heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • A pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line the baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes using an electric mixer.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, making sure to keep the air in the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth it out evenly. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden and a skewer comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the filling. In a bowl, combine mashed bananas, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
  • For the caramel sauce, combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook without stirring until the sugar dissolves and turns a golden caramel color. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and cook for another 2 minutes. Add butter and salt, then remove from heat.
  • Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven. Place a clean kitchen towel on the counter and sprinkle it with powdered sugar. Carefully flip the cake onto the towel and gently peel off the parchment paper.
  • Spread the banana filling evenly over the warm cake, then roll it up tightly with the towel starting from the short end. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • When ready to serve, unroll the roulade and slice it into pieces. Drizzle with warm caramel sauce and enjoy!

Notes

You can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the banana filling for added texture.
Serve the roulade chilled or at room temperature to enjoy its flavors fully.
