Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 2/3 cup mashed banana (1 large or 2 small bananas)
  • 1/3 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup candied ginger, chopped
  • 1 ounce cream cheese, softened (for glaze)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons whole milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Grease a 15 x 10 x 1 inch jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Blend softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth. Add egg and milk, mixing until fully incorporated, then spread into the prepared pan.
  3. Coarsely chop pecans, candied ginger, and dried cranberries. Set aside 1/3 cup for the batter and reserve the remainder for topping.
  4. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks with vanilla extract until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add granulated sugar, then mix in mashed banana and the 1/3 cup of chopped mixture.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  7. Gently fold egg yolk mixture into beaten egg whites. Add flour mixture in two parts, folding gently until just combined.
  8. Pour the cake batter over the cream cheese filling evenly and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until set and light golden.
  9. While baking, lay out a clean towel and dust it with powdered sugar.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then flip onto the powdered sugar-dusted towel and remove parchment. Roll the cake into a log, seam-side down, and let cool for 10 minutes.
  11. Transfer the cake roll to a serving platter to cool completely before glazing.
  12. Blend cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Spread glaze over the cooled cake roll and sprinkle with reserved chopped topping.

Notes

  • Ensure the egg whites are beaten in a clean bowl for optimal volume.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing to prevent melting.
  • This cake can be refrigerated for better texture and flavor.
