Banana Crumb Cake

Posted on by GingerSnapAttack

No matter how hard I try, I never eat all of my bananas before they get brown and mushy! Well, instead of tossing them in the trash, or making plain old banana bread…try this sinfully delicious Banana Crumb Cake!

This is no low-fat recipe, but it’s worth every calorie! Enjoy!

What you’ll need for the cake:

  • 2 cups AP flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

What you’ll need for the crumb filling and topping:

  • 1 cup butter, cold & cut into cubes
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 cups flour

What you’ll need for the icing:

  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 – 5 T dolce de leche coffee creamer (or sub milk)

Now what?

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, spray a 9×13 pan with baking cooking spray and set aside.
  2. In a medium sized bowl, combine your flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Place your whole bananas in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth.
  4. Mix in your butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until combined.
  5. Add your milk & flour mixture and mix well.

Now onto your delicious crumb filling:

  1. Combine your butter, sugar, and flour in a bowl and crumble together with hands (or you can combine with a fork until mixture becomes crumbly).

OK, that’s done, now putting it together:

  1. Pour half of your cake mixture into your prepared pan.
  2. Sprinkle with half of your crumb filling mixture.
  3. Cover your crumb filling with the rest of your cake mixture.
  4. Top with remaining crumb filling.
  5. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until you can pull a toothpick out clean and your crumb topping is golden brown.
  6. Let sit until cooled (10-15 minutes).

Let’s whip up that icing:

  1. Combine your powdered sugar and creamer in a bowl until it’s the consistency of icing.
  2. Once your cake has cooled, drizzle your icing over the cake until there’s enough to your liking!

Next up…taste test! Grab a plate and a fork, and dish up yourself a piece of this warm delicious gooey cake & enjoy! Server warm or cold (it tastes great no matter how you eat it).

This is a great recipe for busy weekends when you & the kids need breakfast on the run, or if you’re hosting a holiday breakfast…or if you’re like me and are just craving something sweet & delicious!

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!!!
