Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 2 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture to use as the topping.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Stir in the eggs, vanilla extract, and sour cream until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb topping evenly over the batter.
Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
