Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or butter.
Prepare the Caramel Layer: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Arrange the Bananas: Place the sliced bananas on top of the caramel mixture, arranging them in a circular pattern or any way you prefer.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and buttermilk, mixing until smooth.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour Batter: Carefully pour the batter over the bananas in the pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Flip: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a serving plate. The bananas should be beautifully caramelized on top.
