Preheat the oven to 175°C.
Beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Mix the flour, potato starch, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar and baking powder in a bowl before folding them into the egg batter.
Pour the batter into a greased cake tin, around 24 cm in diameter. Bake in the lower half of the oven for roughly 30 minutes before allowing to cool. Split the cake into three slices.
Mash the banana and add the lemon juice. Whip the cream and vanilla sugar into a thick cream.
Spread caramel sauce, vanilla cream and mashed banana on two of the cake slices, making sure to save a third of the cream and caramel.
Layer the cake slices, before spreading the rest of the cream and caramel on top of the final slice and topping off with caramel sauce. Roughly crush the dark chocolate and crunchy confectionery before sprinkling over the cake.
