Banana Crumb Cake Recipe

I am a huge banana fan and love to bake with them. Up until now, my favorite Banana recipe was the Banana Blueberry Bread, but now it is tied with this one. I was flipping through my Southern Plate cookbook – yum – and had all of the ingredients, so I made it.

I took some to my parent’s house later that day and we have all been in love with this recipe ever since! If you like bananas – this recipe will not disappoint and you will quickly be addicted.

Her recipe tells you to make it in (2)8×8’s so you can share, but I make it in a 9×13 every time! 🙂

Banana Crumb Cake

• 2C sugar
• 1 C milk
• 1 C chopped nuts (optional-I use pecans)
• 2 C self rising flour
• 1 stick margarine
• 2 eggs
• 3 bananas
• 1 tsp vanilla

Crumb Topping

• 1 stick (1/2 c) Margarine
• 1 Cup brown sugar (dark or light)
• 1 cup flour (self rising or plain, whatever you have on hand)

Spray two loaf or 8×8 pans with cooking spray(I use a 9×13). Place peeled bananas in mixing bowl, add sugar. Mix until bananas are liquefied. Add margarine, mix until creamed together with banana mixture. Add all other ingredients and blend well.

In medium bowl, place all topping ingredients. Cut together with a long tined fork until well blended. Pour 1/4 of batter into each pan, top with 1/4 crumb mixture(If using a 9×13, pour half of batter, top with half of crumb mixture and repeat). Pour remaining batter over and top with remaining crumb mixture. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour at 350(Since I used a 9×13, it was more like 50 minutes).

Cake is done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

This cake is extremely moist and the crumble top is so yummy! We eat this for breakfast – or as a snack. 🙂 I even ate it for lunch the other day. It is very filling and something that the whole family will eat.
