To make the banana cake
- In a large mixing bowl add ½ cup room temperature unsalted butter, ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup light brown sugar. Cream together. Add in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Mash 3 mashed ripe bananas with a fork, then add to the batter, stir to combine, will be slightly lumpy.
- In a medium size mixing bowl combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, stir with a fork to mix.
- Add to the sugar mixture, and stir slowly and pour in ⅔ cup buttermilk while stirring. Stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and sprinkle the crumbs on top. Gently press the crumbs into the batter to help stick.
- If using an 8x8 pan bake for about 45-50 minutes. If using a 9x9 pan bake for about 35-40 minutes.
- Allow to cool for about 30 minutes prior to serving. If desired top with icing.
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand you can make sour milk. Add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice or plain white vinegar to your measuring cup, then pour the milk in to reach 2/3 cup. Let it sit briefly. This will make sour milk.
- If you want to make this in a 9x13 pan you can add an additional 1/2 cup flour and 1/3 cup milk to the recipe. Double the crumb recipe and bake for 40 minutes.
