Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup mashed bananas
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar
For the Filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup whipped topping
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp caramel sundae topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 15×10-inch jelly-roll pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the short sides. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until thick and pale. Stir in the vanilla and mashed bananas. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Roll the Cake: Immediately invert the hot cake onto a clean kitchen towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Gently peel off the parchment paper. Starting at a short side, roll up the cake and towel together. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
- Assemble the Cake: Carefully unroll the cake; spread the filling evenly over the cake. Roll up the cake without the towel. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Serve: Drizzle the cake roll with caramel sundae topping before serving. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- You can customize the filling by adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
