Instructions

Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Make the Sponge:

In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and pale.
Mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared jelly roll pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched.
Roll and Chill:

While the cake is still warm, invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar.
Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
Roll the cake up in the towel, starting from a short end.
Let it cool completely.
Prepare the Filling:

In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Assemble and Drizzle:

Unroll the cooled cake and spread the whipped cream evenly over the surface.
Distribute the sliced bananas evenly over the cream.
Roll the cake back up without the towel, placing it seam side down on a serving platter.
For the caramel sauce, combine brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Garnish and Enjoy:

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the rolled cake.
Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers and additional banana slices.
Dust with powdered sugar.
Slice and serve.
