Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar.
  3. In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth; mix in eggs and vanilla.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture gently until just combined.
  5. Spread batter evenly on prepared baking sheet (about half an inch thick).
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown; a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  7. While cooling, prepare the filling by beating cream cheese with powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
  8. Once cooled slightly, flip the cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel; roll it tightly with the towel inside.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before slicing.
