Ingredients for Ladyfinger Roll Cake:
Milk - 1 1/2 cups
Vanilla pudding - 2 cups (or pastry cream)
Banana - 2 (peeled)
Cocoa powder - 1 tbsp. (or instant coffee)
Method of preparing the Ladyfinger Roll Cake:
  1. In a bowl, dip each ladyfinger into the milk.
  2. Lay a long piece of plastic wrap on the counter. Place two rows of ladyfingers, side by side, on the plastic wrap. Cover with a second piece of plastic wrap, and place them in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight.
  3. If needed, brush on some milk and chill for another hour. Once pliable, remove the top plastic and spread the pudding in a thin, even layer over the ladyfingers. Leave a 1/2-inch border along one of the long sides.
  4. Place the bananas, lengthwise, in the middle of the row of ladyfingers that are completely covered with pudding or pastry cream.
  5. Carefully, using the extending plastic wrap, roll the ladyfingers up and over the bananas and continue rolling the entire cake to form a cylinder with the ends of the two rows of ladyfingers coming together.
  6. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  7. Serve on a long plate, sprinkle with cocoa powder for garnish and top with whipped cream with the help of a piping bag.
