Ingredients
For the Sponge Cake:
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
For the Banana Pudding Filling:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 package (instant) vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 2 ripe bananas (sliced)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Topping:
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Crushed vanilla wafers
- Whipped cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until thick, pale, and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the egg mixture.
Add milk and melted butter, mixing carefully until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
Notes
Do not overbake the sponge cake—it should remain soft and flexible. Overbaking can cause cracking when rolling. Roll the cake while still warm using a clean towel to shape it properly.
