Coffee & Banana Roll Cake
- 4 Egg yolk
- 2 tbsp Instant coffee
- 40 ml Butter
- 50 ml Milk
- 50 grams Cake flour
- 20 grams Cornstarch
- 4 Egg whites
- 80 grams Sugar
- 1 Banana
- 300 ml Heavy cream
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 1 Rum (optional)
- Preparation: Add the coffee, butter, and milk to a mug and melt together in a microwave and leave to cool.
- Sift together the flour and cornstarch.
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Add the sugar to the egg whites in 3 batches and whisk thoroughly until stiff peaks form.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Next, with the same hand mixer you used on the egg whites, whisk the egg yolks in a separate bowl and add the coffee mixture and sifted ingredients.
- Whisk well until the mixture looks like a loose mayonnaise.
- Add the whisked egg whites in 3 batches into the egg yolk mixture and mix with a whisk.
- Refer to the photo.
- Drop the hand mixer!
- Mix together slowly with the whisk, whisking the mixture upwards as if you are scooping it out.
- Pour the mixture into the lined baking tray.
- Bake on the middle shelf of the preheated oven at 180C for 10 minutes (or possibly a little longer).
- Take the tray out of the oven and lightly cover with a paper towel.
- Wrap the sponge (and paper towel) lightly with cling film and let cool.
- Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks and if you're using it, add the rum.
- Spread over the sponge and lay over some bananas, cut lengthways, in a line and roll.
- Roll the cake over so that the edges of the sponge are on the bottom of the cake and transfer to a new baking sheet.
- Roll again and chill in the fridge to finish.
- This time I didn't use so much coffee in the sponge so I topped it up by adding more coffee into the cream (mix 1 teaspoon of instant coffee 1 one teaspoon of rum).
