Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 stick butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or regular milk
  • 2 large ripe bananas peeled and sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Grease a round 9″ spring form pan.
  • Prepare the crumb topping by pulsing all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, mix sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla until well combined.
  • Pour sugar and butter mixture into flour and stir until combined, add buttermilk then mix again.
  • Spread half of the batter on the bottom of the spring form pan, then top with sliced banana and cover with the remaining batter.
  • Top the cake with the crumb by gently pressing it into the batter.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Let cake rest at least 15 minutes, so that the crumb’s crystalline edges are able to harden and separate from the pan’s edge.
  • Release the spring and let stand until cool, or serve warm.
