05 - Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture, then carefully fold in the dry ingredients.
06 - Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared pan.
07 - Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, until the cake is set.
08 - Turn the cake onto a sugared towel, roll it gently with the towel, and let it cool.
09 - Beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
10 - Unroll the cooled cake, spread the whipped cream mixture over it, and place sliced bananas evenly on top.
11 - Carefully roll the cake back up, maintaining a firm shape.
12 - Top with chocolate ganache and garnish with chocolate shavings.
13 - Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving.
