Making the Banana Sponge Cake!
No banana cake recipe would be complete without lots of banana flavor! To add the most flavor, I use a combination of banana extract and fresh bananas for the sponge cake and for the filling. This combination of extract and fruit is the best way to get fruit flavor. The fresh fruit adds texture and the extract really intensifies the flavor!

How to Make a Banana Cream Cake
This banana cake is so easy to put together! Here’s how to do it!

As soon as the banana sponge cake is done baking, roll the cake into a log and let it cool completely.
Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese frosting. Keep the frosting refrigerated until you’re ready to use it.
To assemble the cake, gently unroll the sponge cake. Spread two-thirds of the cream cheese frosting onto the cake and use an off-set spatula to spread the frosting evenly to all edges. Top the frosting with sliced fresh bananas. Brush them with lemon juice before adding to keep them from browning. Gently roll the cake back up the same way it cooled and transfer onto a serving tray.
Use the remaining frosting to frost the top and sides of the cake. Garnish the cake with more sliced bananas and mint leaves, if desired. Before adding bananas on top of the cake, brush the banana slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
