Ingredients:

• 1 cup cake flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar, divided
• 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana (about 1 medium)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
• 3 egg whites
• 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar

• For the Filling:
• 4 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup reduced-fat whipped topping
• 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
• 2 tablespoon fat-free caramel ice cream topping

Directions:

1. Spray a 10x15 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Line the same pan with waxed paper and coat the paper with non stick cooking spray; set aside.
3. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Set aside
4. In a separate mixing bowl, beat eggs for 5 minutes; add 1/2 cup sugar, banana, vanilla and lemon peel.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Then gradually beat in remaining sugar, a tablespoon at a time, at high speed until stiff peaks form.
6. Add flour mixture to banana mixture; mix gently until combined.
7. Fold in egg white mixture.
8. Spread into prepared pan. I find that to get it to spread evenly, picking up the pan, and sort of banging it down onto a counter can help.
9. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until cake springs back when touched.
10. Cool 5 minutes in pan, on rack.
11. Dust a kitchen towel with confectioner sugar
12. Turn cake onto the dusted kitchen towel
13. Peel off waxed paper. Be careful when doing so.
14. Roll up cake in towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side.
15. Cool completely on a wire rack.
16. Unroll cake after completely cooled, so you can fill it, and re-roll it.
For the Filling:
17. Mix together all filling ingredients.
18. Spread the filling into unrolled cake
19. Roll back up, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and drizzle caramel ice cream topping.
