- 4 egg whites
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar + 2 tbsp
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 pound cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin bloomed in ice water for 5 mins
- 3/4 cup heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks
- 8 bananas
- 4 lemon juice
- 7 ounces milk chocolate finely chopped
- Preheat oven to 400u0b0F. Line a 13x15 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk egg whites with 2 tbsp cold water to stiff peaks. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 tsp vanilla. Sift flour, baking powder and cocoa powder over top then fold in. Transfer to prepared pan and bake for 12 mins. Turn out onto a damp tea towel sprinkled with sugar. Discard parchment paper and let cool for 30 mins.
- Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, remaining sugar and 1/4 tsp vanilla. Combine 3 tbsp with bloomed gelatin and gently heat until gelatin melts. Mix into remaining cream cheese mixture. Fold in whipped cream, cubed bananas and 1/2 of the chocolate. Spread over cake, leaving a 1/3 inch border. Roll up, using the tea towel as a guide, then chill for 2 hours.
- Melt remaining chocolate over low heat. Lay halved bananas over chilled jelly roll and drizzle melted chocolate over top. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.
