This recipe is very easy and makes a great dessert for company or family. It works out great frozen. Also, it's delicious served with chocolate, caramel, or strawberry sauce and whipped cream on top of each serving. Other fruit, such as any pie filling of just prepared pudding mixed with Cool Whip, can be used for the filling also. I have used coconut cream pudding and extra coconut and chopped nuts too - very good!

This was a fun spin (roll?!) on banana pudding. The sponge is light and airy and the pudding is creamy. Placing the bananas along the edge and rolling the cake up makes for a picture-perfect slice. Next time we may add some whipped topping and crushed vanilla wafers to the top. Yum!
Note: To get the perfect roll you really do have to quickly trim the edges of the cake and roll while it is warm.

How to Make Banana Pudding Roll
- For the filling, combine pudding and milk. Beat well until it starts to thicken. Place in refrigerator until ready to use.
- Preheat oven to 375. Line the bottom a jelly roll pan (15x10x2-inches) with parchment paper.
FOR THE CAKE: Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar and the vanilla. - Beat egg whites until almost stiff; gradually add remaining sugar and beat until very stiff.
- Fold yolk mixture into whites. Then add sifted dry ingredients, folding in carefully by hand with a large spatula.
- Pour into jelly roll pan and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes.
- When done, remove from the oven and loosen sides. Turn out onto a towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Remove parchment paper from the bottom of the cake carefully. Trim off crusty edges to make easy rolling.
- Roll quickly with a fresh sheet of parchment paper on the inside of the roll. Wrap in the sugared towel; cool.
- Unroll, remove paper; spread with pudding.
- TO ASSEMBLE: Place 2 or 3 straight bananas near the edge (2 inches) of the long side of the roll. Be sure to use bananas that have absolutely no black or brown specks on them and that are not too ripe, but still slightly hard.
- Roll up again.
- Place seam side down on a serving platter. Chill slightly (20 minutes). Serve with any extra pudding and a scoop of ice cream with ice cream topping over all if desired.
VARIATION: Try a strawberry roll too: I used fresh strawberries a little French vanilla instant pudding (dry) and Cool Whip to make a fluff spread on the inside. Delish!!
