Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas mashed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cake springs back lightly and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Immediately invert the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake with the towel inside. Let cool completely in rolled shape.
  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts.
  • Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  • Roll the cake back up without the towel. Place seam side down on a serving plate and drizzle generously with caramel sauce. Optionally sprinkle walnuts on top.
  • Refrigerate the cake roll for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture in the cake.
  • Be gentle when folding the dry ingredients to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Rolling the cake while it’s still warm prevents cracks and makes it easier to shape.
  • Chill the cake roll before slicing to maintain structure and achieve cleaner slices.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts without affecting overall taste.
