Banana-Sour Cream Coffee Cake

I just made this coffee cake this afternoon and it is very good. A scoop of icecream would be really good!! However, just a note to everyone that it calls for 4 teaspoons of salt. I think this is a typo. I used 1/2 teaspoon and it was really good - I really do think 4 teaspoons would be way too much.
