If desserts had royalty, this Banana Chocolate Dream Roll would wear the crown. With a soft vanilla sponge cake wrapped around a rich chocolate filling and ripe banana center, then topped with silky chocolate ganache and fresh banana slices—this is more than dessert, it’s an experience. 😍
Ingredients
For the Cake:
4 large eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Powdered sugar (for dusting)

½ cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
2 ripe bananas (peeled and whole)

Chocolate shavings or curls
Instructions
1. Make the Sponge Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Beat eggs and sugar together for 5 minutes until pale and thick.
Stir in vanilla.
Gently fold in flour, baking powder, and salt.
Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden and springs back to touch.
2. Roll and Cool
While still warm, dust with powdered sugar.
Flip cake onto a clean kitchen towel and peel off parchment.
Roll cake (with the towel) from the short end and let cool completely.
3. Make the Chocolate Filling
Heat cream until steaming, then pour over chocolate chips.
Let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
Let cool until thick but spreadable.
4. Assemble the Dream Roll
Unroll cooled cake gently.
Spread chocolate filling evenly.
Place bananas at the start of the roll.
Roll tightly and transfer to serving plate.
5. Top It Off
Drizzle with melted chocolate.
Add banana slices and chocolate shavings.
Chill for 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Pro Tips 💡
Use a very ripe banana for max flavor and sweetness.
For easier slicing, chill roll for 1–2 hours before serving.
Fancy it up with a touch of whipped cream or chopped nuts.
