Method
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (180°C).
Oven - 2
Grease a 15×10-inch jelly-roll pan; line with parchment paper. Grease and flour paper; set aside.
- 3
Spread out a clean, thin dish towel on the work surface (make sure the towel is larger than your jelly roll pan); sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar (this can be done using a mesh strainer).
- 4
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
- 5
In a large bowl combine eggs and sugar; beat until thickened. Add bananas and vanilla; beat until well mixed.
- 6
Stir flour mixture into egg mixture.
- 7
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan, easing it carefully to the corners with a spatula.
- 8
Bake for 13–15 minutes or until center springs back when lightly touched.
Oven - 9
Immediately loosen cake from edges of pan; invert cake onto the prepared towel. Remove pan; carefully peel off paper.
- 10
Roll up cake in towel while hot, starting with 10-inch side. Cool completely on wire rack, at least an hour.
- 11
When cake is almost completely cooled, make the filling: beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and both extracts in small mixing bowl until smooth.
- 12
When cake has cooled completely, unroll and spread with filling, then re-roll cake. Wrap rolled cake in plastic wrap then refrigerate at least 1 hour (but overnight is best).
