• 1⁄2 cup sugar

• 1⁄3 cup pecans, chopped coarse (optional)

directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350° degrees. Line the bottom of a jelly roll pan or a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper, then grease with a little margarine.
2. In a bowl sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Put aside until needed.
3. In a small bowl add the egg yolks, sugar, espresso coffee, mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract and mix well.
4. In a large bowl beat the egg whites and cream of tarter until stiff peaks form. Then gently fold into the egg whites, both the yolk and flour mixtures, one at a time, just until they are combined. Do not over mix the batter.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared jelly pan or cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes in pan, then making sure to leave the paper on, unmold and roll the cake starting with the short side. Place the rolled cake in the refrigerator for 5 - 10 minutes to chill.
6. Once the cake is chilled you can prepare the cream filling. In a large bowl add mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar and espresso coffee. Beat on low until soft peaks form. Now add the whipped cream and blend well. Place into refrigerator until needed.
7. Assemble the cake: Take cake out of refrigerator, start unrolling the cake and gently remove the paper.
8. Slowly drizzle the butterscotch syrup over the entire cake, watching that you don't get too close to the edges of the cake.
9. Now spread all the coffee cream filling over the entire cake except for the edges.
10. Then sprinkle the diced bananas over the cake and drizzle with the chocolate syrup.
11. Carefully roll up the cake and wrap tightly in plastic wrap, placing in fridge until ready to serve. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy.

I really liked this combination. The flavors worked well together and it was not very difficult to put together on my tight schedule. I did have to cheat and use regular butterscotch ice cream topping as I could not find sugar free or even regular butterscotch syrup. Perhaps a note in the description or at the end of the recipe on what brand you used and where in the supermarket you found it would help.
