My husband's birthday is tommorow so I thought it would be nice if I made him a nice treat to take with him to work. He love's to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, as well as bananas so I thought that it would be cool to make that combo into a roulade. Specifically because I'm going to try to make them into small snare drums! :)
Peanut butter and banana roulade
- 1/4 cup peanut butter ( crunchy or smooth)
- 1/3 cup cake flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. banana extract
- 4 eggs separated
- 1/2 cup sugar
First line a pan with parchment paper. Then set the oven to 425 degrees.
Now combine the first five ingredients in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
Next take the egg yokes and whip them to soft peaks. I add a little salt and lemon juice to help mine get there faster.
Take the egg yolks and sugar, stir til light yellow. Combine the flour mixture to this mixture. It will become stiff and that is ok.
Gently start to fold the mixture into the egg whites. Be careful not to overdo it.
Now you can pour the mixture into your pan and smooth out with a spatula. Place in the oven for 6-8 minutes. Once it has finished let cool for a couple minutes and them place on a towel, now roll. Let is completely cool now. Then you can add the jelly frosting.
Once completely cooled add the jelly frosting and re-roll. I place the roulade in plastice wrap and then rolled it back up to stick in the fridge for an hour.
Jelly Frosting
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
- 2 tbsp. strawberry jelly (or flavor of choice)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
