Recipe: Banana Bread Cake With Streusel
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 large eggs
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* Streusel topping (see below for recipe)
Streusel Topping:
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chopped walnuts, if using.
5. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth top.
6. To make streusel topping, combine flour, sugar, and cold butter in a small bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. If using walnuts, fold them into the streusel mixture.
7. Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.
8. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cook Time: 55-60 minutes
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Variations:
* Add a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg to the streusel topping for an extra boost of flavor.
* Substitute chopped pecans or hazelnuts for the walnuts for a different texture and flavor.
* Make individual muffins instead of a loaf by dividing the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
* Add a drizzle of caramel sauce or whipped cream on top of the cooled cake for an extra touch of indulgence.
* Experiment with different types of sugar, such as brown sugar or turbinado sugar, for a unique flavor profile.
