How To Make banana crumb cake
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350'F. Spray a 9x13" baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.
-
Step 2In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
-
Step 3In a large bowl, mash bananas until they become liquefied. Add softened butter, and combine well; stir in sugar, eggs & vanilla. Mix well.
-
Step 4Add milk and flour mixture; stir until blended. Set aside and make the Crumb Topping.
-
Step 5Stir 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.
-
Step 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.)
-
Step 7Bake at 350'F. for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes.
-
Step 8Stir the confectioners' sugar and cocoa together, then add milk. Use a whisk to blend, so there won't be any lumps.
-
Step 9Drizzle glaze over top, and serve warm or cold! Store in an airtight container.
