Caramel Banana Cake Roll

This cake roll is a light version to the typical cake roll. Thank you Lady Behind the Curtain

Lady Behind The Curtain - Caramel Banana Cake Roll 

1 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
3 egg whites
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

Filling :
4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup reduced-fat whipped topping
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoon fat-free caramel ice cream topping


  • Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray with waxed paper and coat the paper with non stick cooking spray; set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder.  
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs for 5 minutes; add 1/2 cup sugar, banana, vanilla and lemon peel.  
  • In a small mixing bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.  
  • Gradually beat in remaining sugar, a tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff peaks form.
  • Add flour mixture to banana mixture; mix gently until combined.  
  • Fold in egg white mixture.
  • Spread into prepared pan.  
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.  
  • Cool 5 minutes.
  • Turn cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with confectioners sugar.
  • Gently peel off waxed paper.  
  • Roll up cake in towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side.  
  • Cool completely on a wire rack
  • Once the roll is cooled, un roll the cake.  Because the cake has cooled in a rolled position it will easily re roll. 
  • In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth and sugar is dissolved.  
  • Beat in vanilla; fold in the whipped topping.  
  • Unroll cake and spread the filling.  
  • Roll back up, sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar and drizzle caramel ice cream topping.
