Banana Crunch Cake
Description
This cake combines soft mashed bananas with dairy and sugar to create a tender cake base, enhanced with vanilla and sour cream for moisture and slight tang. The batter is mixed until smooth, then poured into a greased pan.
The topping is prepared separately by mixing flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then stirring in melted butter until crumbly. This topping is sprinkled over the batter before baking, where it forms a golden, crisp surface, adding texture and flavor depth to the moist cake below.
Baked at 350°F for about 45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean, it’s important to watch the topping during baking; if it browns too quickly, a foil tent can be placed over the cake to prevent burning while allowing the cake to finish baking evenly.
