You should be able to get the desired effect via

	\caption[Short Title for List of Tables/Figures]
		{
		This is the caption.  It contains a displayed equation\\
		$\displaystyle
		e^{x + iy} = e^x (\cos y + i \sin y)
		$\\
		which was originally derived by Euler.
		}
	\label{my-favorite-tab/fig}

You'll find a detailed discussion of \displaystyle in chapter 17 of
the \TeX{}book.
