Banana Cream Cheesecake Roll

Soft banana cake rolled with creamy filling and fresh bananas for a delightful dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 150 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 100 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 60 milliliters milk
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 250 grams cream cheese, softened
  • 100 grams powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 180 milliliters heavy whipping cream
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • 2 bananas, sliced
  • Plastic wrap

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Lightly grease a 38×25 cm jelly roll pan, line with parchment paper, and grease the parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the egg mixture, mixing just until combined. Fold in mashed banana.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the center springs back lightly when touched. Remove from oven and let cool for several minutes.
  4. Invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment paper, then roll the cake in the towel from the short end. Cool completely in this rolled shape.
  5. Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to form a light filling.
  6. When cake is completely cool, gently unroll. Evenly spread cream cheese filling over the surface and top with sliced bananas. Carefully roll the cake up again, using the towel as a guide.
  7. Wrap the assembled roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Notes

Rolling the cake while warm prevents cracking and ensures a smooth, uniform roll.
For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
Adding cocoa powder to the batter gives the dessert a chocolate twist.
