How To Make banana crumb cake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350'F. Spray a 9x13" baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.
  • 2
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • 3
    In a large bowl, mash bananas until they become liquefied. Add softened butter, and combine well; stir in sugar, eggs & vanilla. Mix well.
  • 4
    Add milk and flour mixture; stir until blended. Set aside and make the Crumb Topping.
  • 5
    Stir the brown sugar and flour together, cut in the cubed butter with a fork or pastry cutter, until a coarse crumb forms and will hold together when you press it in your hand. This takes a few minutes, but totally worth getting the topping blended well.
  • 6
    (Use this as a filler too, if you like a crunch in the middle of your cake. Just pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Top with 1/3 of the crumb mixture. Pour the remaining batter over the crumb mixture and top that with the rest of the crumbs, or just sprinkle all over the top, and bake.)
  • 7
    Bake at 350'F. for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes.
  • 8
    Stir the confectioners' sugar and cocoa together, then add milk. Use a whisk to blend, so there won't be any lumps.
  • 9
    Drizzle glaze over top, and serve warm or cold! Store in an airtight container.
