Description
A warm, tender Banana Crumb Cake made with ripe bananas, hints of cinnamon, and topped with a crunchy brown-sugar crumb.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan and set it aside. Mash the ripe bananas in a small bowl until smooth with a few small lumps remaining.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 cup sugar until light. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon to create the crumb mixture.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently and mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack until warm, then cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For best results, use very ripe bananas. Let the cake cool before cutting to prevent crumbling.
