Ingredients
For the Cake:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Crumb Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla extract, mashed bananas, and sour cream until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the crumb topping until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the banana batter.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
