I don't know, but the topping tasted like a strange sugar brittle to me.. I wouldn't say it's bad I really wanted this recipe to be amazing. I've made it twice hoping to have a different result, but both times, it's turned out that the middle is not cooked. The crumble top ends up tasting a little burnt and keeps the dough from cooking all the way through: This was a hit!!!!
I used half flour and half gluten free flour. I did add pecans. The bread was so moist and delicious. I am going to make again with all gluten free flour. Excellent recipe - a big hit with co-workers easy to make and great to transport. Follow along as we show you how to make these fantastic recipes from our archive. Skip links Skip to content. Go Bananas Crumb Bread. We get a lot of rain in Oregon, and I often find myself cooking and baking to help keep the kids and I entertained on wet days when we are stuck inside.
One of my family's rainy day favorites is Banana bread. Test Kitchen Approved 4 reviews. I love that you use metric and the bananas are so different. Its midnight here but you only live once ey? And once the egg was added, well my word I was creamily impressed! Indeed the crumb holds together yet is super fine. And this flour mixture was very nice. I really do not like the taste of raising agents in baked goods, yet I did not notice those awful flavours using your mixture.
Thanks babe — will check out some more of your recs! Mwah from the Barossa valley. I made this yesterday and it is a great cake, easy and delicious. Tried your recipe for the most delish banana cake ever! It was a hit. This is wonderful thank you so much. This IS the best cake hands down I have ever made or tasted. I have never written a review in my life so I hope I do this correctly. I gotta admit it seems somewhat better yet to make this one tho. I normally do a thinner creamed-butter frosting, but love your idea of Cream Cheese. Thanks for your cooking inspiration.. Im off to make your salted caramel.
Would adding walnuts to this recipe change cooking time or ingredient proportions? I love flavorful spices and so added a tiny bit of nutmet, allspice and nutmeg, in addition to the cinnamon. Husband just confirmed this is the Best Banana Cake! Our grandson wanted Banana cake for his four year old birthday party. This is wonderful cake! I finally made this the other day — has been top on my list to try for a long time! I will absolutely be making it again…makes a nice, big pan to share! I added a little espresso to the frosting to give it a little something extra…I am not sure it added anything special but it was delicious enough to eat by the spoonful!
Would be fun to maybe do a peanut butter flavor or even add a little rum! After reading several reviews about this cake being kind of dense, I decided to try the recipe, but used up some King Arthur Cake Flour that I had on hand. I figured it was supposed to be lighter than AP Flour. The cake was out of this world!!!
It was light, fluffy, and something about that buttermilk just sent it over the top!!!! I have now made it 4 times. It was still delicious. I also made a parchment paper sling and removed it from the pan after letting it rest ten minutes. I removd the parchment as soon as I got it out of the pan. I liked the extra hight of the cake. Frosted or unfrosted you will not go wrong. Thanks for the tip about keeping the same baking time in a smaller pan!
I made this into cupcakes with the brown butter cream cheese icing. This recipe is definitely a keeper! This is my go to banana cake. The recipe even works for me at high altitude.

I bake as a sheet cake for a little thinner cake but more portions. The only change I make in the frosting: I use browned butter in the frosting. Absolutely out of this world! And thankfully for me, it was super easy! I followed the recipe exactly. My bananas were very spotty but I made sure not to over mix and the cake turned out amazing. I did NOT think it was heavy like banana bread. HI Sally, can this be made into a sugar free recipe? I have made it and love it but my brother is diabetic and wants a sugar free version of this cake.. Can this be done.
If so would I need to adjust the baking time? This is a great question. Just for future reference if anyone else wants to do the same: Can I make this in a bundt pan? If so, how long would i bake it for to ensure that it remains moist? And would the cream cheese icing hold up or would it be too likely to squish out…need to know by Wed if possible!! This batter will be enough for 3 8-inch cakes. A question, can I sub the sugars for honey instead?
Would I need to make any adjustments to the recipe if do this? Try this cake with chocolate buttercream , vanilla buttercream , or even this peanut butter frosting. Hi, love this cake.

I recommend making 2 batches instead of doubling. Working with double the batter and this is A LOT of batter to begin with! For a larger pan, use a toothpick to test for doneness. Is there much of a difference between the cream cheese frosting on this cake versus your Red Velvet cake recipe? The recipe is a little different because this frosting yields less. As a result, it tastes silkier and more buttery. Looking forward to making this cake for the Fourth of 4th picnic.
Do you think it would affect the texture of the cake?

Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth and creamy - about 1 minute.
Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Beat on medium-high speed until combined, then beat in the mashed bananas. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed.
With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three additions alternating with the buttermilk and mixing each addition just until incorporated. The batter will be slightly thick and a few lumps is OK. Spread batter into the prepared pan. Bake for minutes. Baking times vary, so keep an eye on yours.
Remove the cake from the oven and set on a wire rack. Allow to cool completely. After about 45 minutes, I usually place it in the refrigerator to speed things up. Add 3 cups confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then switch to high speed and beat for 2 minutes.
