#How to Make Banana Caramel Roulade
#Ingredients:
For the Sponge Cake:
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 tsp baking powder
– 1/4 tsp salt
For the Filling:
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tbsp powdered sugar
– 1/4 cup caramel sauce
For the Topping:
– 2 ripe bananas, sliced
– Extra caramel sauce for drizzling
#Directions:
1. Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
2. Beat the eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl until they’re light and fluffy.
Stir in the vanilla extract. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt, folding the mixture gently until it’s just combined.
3. Pour the batter into the pan you prepared earlier, smoothing down the top.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cake springs back when it’s lightly touched.
4. Turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Peel off the parchment paper. Roll the cake up with the towel and let it cool completely.
5. Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form for the filling.
Fold in the caramel sauce gently.
6. Unroll the cooled cake. Spread the filling evenly across its surface, then re-roll the cake without the towel.
7. Place the roulade seam-side down on a serving platter. Top with the sliced bananas and drizzle extra caramel sauce over the top.
