  3. Fold in the vanilla extract and milk gently.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Incorporate the dry ingredients into the egg mixture carefully to preserve airiness.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

  8. Turn the warm cake onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar and peel off the parchment.
  9. Roll the cake gently with the towel and allow it to cool completely.
Filling
  1. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  2. Unroll the cooled cake, spread it with whipped cream, and arrange sliced bananas on top.
  3. Roll it up again, sealing in the banana and cream.
Finishing
  1. Spread chocolate ganache over the roll.
  2. Top with chocolate shavings and chill before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider folding in some crushed nuts or a splash of rum into the whipped cream. Ensure bananas are ripe for sweetness.
