Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 2 ripe bananas (sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- Powdered sugar (for topping)
- Crushed vanilla wafers (for topping)
- Extra whipped cream (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prep the Pan and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a standard 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
- Whip the Eggs and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs and granulated sugar. Beat until thick and pale yellow, then add vanilla extract.
- Sift and Fold the Dry Ingredients: Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Sift over the whipped eggs and fold in gently.
- Add Moisture: Pour milk and melted butter down the side of the bowl and gently fold until smooth.
- Bake to Light Spring: Pour batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden and springs back when touched.
- Make the Filling: Whisk together cold milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until thick. In a separate bowl, whip the cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, then fold into the pudding.
- Fill the Roll: Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling over it, and layer sliced bananas, leaving a border.
- Re-Roll and Chill: Roll the cake back up tightly without the towel and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill for 1 to 2 hours.
- Garnish and Serve: Dust the cake with powdered sugar and garnish with crushed vanilla wafers and additional whipped cream before serving.
Notes
Roll the cake while warm to prevent cracking and use fresh, ripe bananas for the best flavor.
