Instructions
-
1Preheat oven to 375°F (180°C).
-
2Grease a 15×10-inch jelly-roll pan; line with parchment paper. Grease and flour paper; set aside.
-
3Spread 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).
-
4In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
-
5In a large bowl combine eggs and sugar; beat until thickened. Add bananas and vanilla; beat until well mixed.
-
6Stir flour mixture into egg mixture.
-
7Spread batter evenly into prepared pan, easing it carefully to the corners with a spatula.
-
8Bake for 13–15 minutes or until center springs back when lightly touched.
-
9Immediately loosen cake from edges of pan; invert cake onto the prepared towel. Remove pan; carefully peel off paper.
-
10Roll up cake in towel while hot, starting with 10-inch side. Cool completely on wire rack, at least an hour.
-
11When cake is almost completely cooled, make the filling: beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, and both extracts in small mixing bowl until smooth.
-
12When 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).
-
13To serve, unwrap cake and place on a platter. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and then cut into slices.
