Equipment

  • Electric whisk
  • Piping bag
  • Deep baking tray
  • Parchment paper
  • Dish cloth

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 oz flour for egg yolk batter
  • 3 egg yolks for egg yolk batter
  • 0.5 oz sugar for egg yolk batter
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract for egg yolk batter
  • 1.33 fl oz vegetable oil for egg yolk batter
  • 2 fl oz milk for egg yolk batter
  • 1 egg white for pattern batter
  • 2 tsp sugar for pattern batter
  • 1 tbsp flour for pattern batter
  • 3 egg whites for egg white batter
  • 1.75 oz sugar for egg white batter
  • 0.25 tsp baking powder for egg white batter
  • 1.33 tbsp cocoa powder for egg white batter
  • 2.75 fl oz whipping cream for cream cheese mix
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar for cream cheese mix
  • 9 oz cream cheese for cream cheese mix
  • 2 bananas for filling
  • sugar for work surface

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the ingredients with an electric whisk until they form a fluffy but fluid mixture. Place the bowl to one side.
  • Beat the egg white with the sugar until stiff, sieve in the flour, and then carefully fold in 3 tbsp of the egg yolk mix you prepared before.
  • Transfer this batter into a piping bag and use it to pipe out a giraffe-print pattern onto a deep baking tray lined with parchment paper. Then bake the whole thing in a preheated oven for just 1 minute at 360°F with the heat coming from above and below.
  • Mix the egg white, sugar, and baking powder, then add the rest of the egg yolk batter, as well as the cocoa powder. Stir everything into a smooth batter and distribute it evenly on top of the giraffe pattern. Then bake the cake together for 15 minutes, again at 360°F, heated from above and below.
  • Sprinkle a clean dish cloth with sugar and turn the cake out on to it. Pull away the parchment paper and cover the cake with a second, damp, dish cloth. Let it cool down and turn it over with the help of the cloths.
  • Beat the whipping cream with the powdered sugar until stiff. Carefully mix in the cream cheese and then spread the mixture evenly over the cake.
  • Roll the two peeled bananas up in the cake.
  • Your wonder roll is complete!
