Step 1
1. Prepare the caramel. Cut the hazelnuts in half or chop into pieces. Spray a round pie pan with vegetable oil spray and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the oil melts. This will take about 1 minute. Mix in the chopped nuts. Spread the caramel with nuts into the prepared pie pan and set aside to let the caramel cool slightly.

Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add banana puree, sour cream, rum, and vanilla extract, and mix well. Add the flour mixture in two batches and mix until smooth. Pour the batter into the pan over the caramel and nuts.
