ingredients
- 3 large eggs

Filling
- 1 cup powdered sugar

directions
- Preheat the oven to 350oF, grease and line a 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan with butter and baking paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs together with the whisk attachment. Gradually stream in the sugar whilst still whisking. Keep whisking until you get a thick, pale foam. Add the mashed banana and mix in briefly.
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt then use a rubber spatula to gently fold together until combined.
- Pour into the prepared pan and gently spread out into an even layer. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts and bake for 10-15 minutes until dark and the cake springs back when gently poked.
- Remove from the oven, flip out onto a clean tea towel dusted with powdered sugar. Starting at the short side, roll the cake up tightly into a log and leave to cool.

This roll cake turned out scrumptious. Changes I made were: 2/3 cup of ground walnuts for the chopped nuts. I removed about a third cup of flour for the extra ground nuts I added. No cream cheese at home, so I used Greek yogurt with success and added some grated lemon peel bc I love lemon and walnuts.
