Description

This Caramel Banana Roll Cake blends moist banana cake with rich caramel for a comforting yet indulgent treat. Whether for a brunch, dessert, or cozy snack, it’s a show-stopper that’s as tasty as it is beautiful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional, for whipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy to form the cake base.
  3. Fold in mashed bananas, melted butter, and vanilla gently to keep the batter airy.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking soda, and salt, then slowly combine with the banana mixture just until incorporated.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan, spread evenly, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and springy to the touch.
  6. If making homemade caramel, prepare it while the cake bakes and let cool slightly.
  7. Let the baked cake cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.
  8. Unroll the cooled cake gently, spread with caramel sauce (add whipped cream if desired), and re-roll tightly.
  9. Wrap the roll in plastic and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  10. Before serving, drizzle more caramel on top, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

Use overripe bananas for the best flavor. To ripen bananas quickly, place them in a brown paper bag overnight. For added texture, consider folding in nuts or chocolate chips. Leftovers can be wrapped and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, and the flavor gets even better the next day.
