How to bake a banana sponge roll? Prepare the products. First thing for a roll. In order for the biscuit to be lush and soft, all products must be at room temperature. Therefore, remove the eggs from the refrigerator in advance. If you did not have time to do this, then put them in warm water for 10 minutes.

Wash the eggs well and drive them into a bowl. Be sure to wash your eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush. Start whisking the eggs with a mixer, pouring sugar into them in portions. When all the sugar is added, continue to whisk them to a lush, light mass.

Sift the flour to the egg mass, add salt and soda. Extinguish the soda before that - drop lemon juice or table vinegar into it.

Stir the dough using a silicone shoulder blade - it behaves most delicately with the whipped mass, without destroying the air bubbles formed during whipping. The dough should be thick and fluid.

Line a baking sheet with baking paper and pour the dough over it. I have it 40 * 30 cm in size, and the dough for such a baking sheet was a little small. Distribute it evenly using the blade.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Bake the biscuit until browned for 20-30 minutes, depending on its size and the features of your oven.

Turn the hot biscuit, along with the paper, directly onto a clean towel. Carefully remove the paper. Roll the sponge into a roll on the long side, wrapping it with a towel. Leave this to cool completely.

Prepare the filling. Prepare the products for her. Take the most fatty and high-quality cream, with a fat content of at least 30%. For whipping cream, it is better to prefer icing sugar. The cream beats quickly enough and the sugar may not have time to melt. Take bananas ripe but strong.

Whisk the cream with a icing sugar mixer. Add the powder gradually, when the cream is already a little beaten (soft peaks will remain on the surface of the cream from the whisk). If you add the icing sugar all at once or before the cream starts to beat, they may not beat. Beat them to a thick, stable mass.

The roll will cool down in the meantime. Free it from the towel. The biscuit will remain in the form of a roll.

Brush the roll with whipped cream. Place the peeled bananas on one edge. Cut each into three pieces and turn the pieces over so that the banana does not bend, but is even. Roll up the roll, gently wrapping the filling.

Cut the uneven edges of the finished roll. Decorate it to your liking. I sprinkled icing sugar over the roll and added fresh strawberries.

Put the roll in the fridge for a couple of hours so the cream soaks the biscuit. Then serve it to the table. Enjoy your meal!
