  Lightly grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Line bottom with waxed paper;


 grease paper. Set aside


 


  FOR FILLING: In a small bowl combine cream cheese and sugar; beat with an


 electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add whole egg and milk; beat


 until combined. Spread in the prepared pan; set aside.


 


  FOR CAKE: In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and


 baking soda; set aside.


 


  In a small mixer bowl beat egg yolks and vanilla on medium speed about 5


 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Gradually add the 1/3 cup sugar,


 beating until sugar is dissolved. Stir in banana and nuts.


 


  Thoroughly wash the beaters. In a large mixing bowl beat the egg whites on


 medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add the 1/2 cup


 sugar, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight).


 


  Fold yolk mixture into egg whites. Sprinkle the flour mixture evenly over


 egg mixture; fold in just until blended.


 


  Carefully spread the batter evenly over the filling in the pan. Bake in a


 375 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cake springs back when


 lightly touched.


 


  Immediately loosen the cake from sides of pan and turn out onto a towel


 sprinkled with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off paper. Starting with


 narrow end, roll up cake using towel as a guide. (Do not roll towel into


 cake.) Cool completely on a wire rack.


 


  Spread top with Cream Cheese Frosting #3 (there are other recipes in the


 master file, if desired--#3 goes with this recipe). If desired, drizzle


 with chocolate syrup. Makes 10 servings.
