Have you ever had Entenmann’s Banana Crunch Cake? It’s super similar to that!
Why should bananas be ripe when you’re baking?
When a banana is super ripe (aka brown and looking old) they have more sugar content in them. Therefore, they have more flavor! Also, they are much easier to mash. You can of course use any bananas the flavor just may not be quite as sweet.

Watch the crunch topping while the cake is baking; if it begins to get brown, loosely place a piece of foil over the dish, and continue baking. To place foil over the dish while baking - fold a large piece of foil in half, and then unfold it, and place it in a tent like manner over the dish. You don't want the foil to lay flat against the top of the dish, but up off the dish, so the cake can continue to bake evenly.
