How to Make Banana Caramel Roulade
Ingredients :
For the Sponge Cake:
– 4 large eggs
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup cornstarch
– A pinch of salt
For the Filling and Topping:
– 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
– 3 ripe bananas, sliced
– 1/2 cup caramel sauce
– Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions :
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
2. Beat eggs and sugar in a bowl until thick and pale. Then, mix in vanilla.
3. Sift together flour, cornstarch, and salt, and gently fold into the egg mixture.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly, and bake for 10-12 minutes until light golden and springy.
5. Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar, turn the baked sponge onto the towel and peel off the parchment paper. Roll the sponge in the towel from a short side and let it cool completely.
6. Once cooled, unroll the sponge and spread whipped cream over it. Arrange banana slices on top, drizzle generously with caramel sauce.
7. Roll the cake back up without the towel and trim the edges for neatness.
8. Place the roulade on a serving plate, drizzle with extra caramel, and dust with powdered sugar before slicing.
