Banana Crumb Cake



Ingredients For Crumb Layers

  • 1 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes I use vegan butter to keep this dairy-free

  • 3/4 – 1 cup all purpose flour (start with 3/4 cup, and gradually add more if needed)

  • 1 1/2 cup light brown sugar

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon


Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 3 ripe bananas, peeled and mashed

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened to room temperature again, use vegan butter for dairy-free option

  • 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla

  • 1 cup almond milk (you can also use 1%, 2%, whole milk, or even buttermilk)

Glaze (optional)

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1-2 tbsp almond milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease a 9″ x 13″ baking dish with butter or cooking spray; set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, use your hands or two forks to crumble together the cold butter cubes, flour, sugars, and cinnamon until the mixture resembles a crumbly topping. Set aside the crumb mixture.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

  4. In a stand mixer, mix softened butter on medium until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and mix for another minute, until well incorporated. Then add the eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas, and mix just until ingredients are incorporated (do not overmix!)

  5. Bake at 350º for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

  6. To make the optional glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add more milk as needed until you get the glaze consistency you prefer. Set aside.

  7. Cool at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top, slicing, and serving.
