  Light and soft genoise cake filled with chantilly cream, passion fruit and banana curd and fresh raspberries. All that topped with banana marshmallow and passion fruit leather. Impress your guests with this heavenly roll at the garden party.



GENOISE
4 eggs
120g cater sugar
100g plain flour
40g ground almonds
30g melted butter
yellow colouring (optional)

In a mixer mix eggs with sugar on high speed for about 10 min until pale and fluffy. Now you can add colouring but it is not necessary. Sift flour and almonds together and gently fold it in the mixture. When mixing in the butter, blend a bit of the mixture to the butter first and then the whole thing carefully mix together. Spread the batter onto 30x40cm baking sheet and bake in the oven in 180C for 10-15min. 

PASSION FRUIT AND BANANA CURD
40g eggs
36g sugar
24g passion fruit puree
12g banana
60g butter

You can prepare that in advance. Mix egg and sugar together. Bring purees to the boil and add egg mixture, keep it on the heat until it reaches 82C. After that take it off the heat, cool down to 50C, add butter and blend. 

CHANTILLY CREAM
300g whipping cream
30g sugar
Whip the cream with sugar until spreadable.

BANANA MARSHMALLOW (for the decoration)
(bit of a disappointment - tasted very nice however the consistency was not right, unless i did something wrong)
40g water
25g banana puree
25g trimoline
4g gelatine
15g sugar
Put all ingredients in a pan and boil, after that add soaked gelatine. Pour it in the mixer and whip until fluffy. Pipe little meringues for decoration

MANGO & PASSION FRUIT  LEATHER (for the decoration)

20g mango puree
20g passion fruit puree
20g 30B syrup
1g pectine NH
Mix purees and syrup together in the pan. Heat it up and add pectin then bring it to boil. Stir when it becomes bubbly. Now spread the mixture on the baking pan. Put it in the oven in 80-90C for few hours or until dry. After that it should have the consistency of fruit leather, you can tear it and decorate your roll as you wish. 

ASSEMBLY
Spread chantilly cream evenly  on the sponge leaving 1cm without any topping. On one of the ends pipe banana and passion fruit curd. Sprinkle some fresh raspberries and gently start rolling the cake. 
I put mine in the freezer for 10min before trimming the edges, it just makes it so much easier. 
Pipe marshmallows and curd on the top, tear few pieces of fruit leather and sprinkle some fresh raspberries or decorate it as you like :) Enjoy!
