Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour the springform pan.
  2. Make the Caramel Sauce: Combine sugar in the saucepan, melt until golden. Add butter and cream. Boil for a minute, then remove from heat and stir in salt. Let cool.
  3. Make the Oat Crumble Topping: Combine all dry ingredients for crumble. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  4. Make the Cake Batter: Whisk together dry cake ingredients. Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs and vanilla. Mix in mashed bananas and sour cream. Gradually add dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with oat crumble topping. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 35-45 minutes.
  6. Cool and Drizzle: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then release sides. Cool completely on a wire rack. Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
