For the Caramel Sauce:

Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
Prepare the cake: Whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sugars, then add vanilla and bananas. Fold in dry ingredients, spread in pan, and bake.
Roll the cake: Roll the warm cake in parchment paper and let it cool.
Make the filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Fold in whipped cream.
Prepare the caramel sauce: Heat sugar in a saucepan, stir in butter, whisk in cream and salt. Let cool.
Assemble: Unroll the cake, spread filling, roll back up, and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
Notes
Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before slicing for cleaner cuts.
You can make the caramel ahead and refrigerate it—just warm slightly before drizzling.
