Ingredients
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick) 1/2 cup buttermilk, yogurt, or milk 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Blend in the melted butter, mixing together until moist. Add 1/4 cup of the buttermilk and combine.
In a separate bowl, combine the other 1/4 cup of buttermilk with the eggs and blend into the flour mixture. Add the vanilla and mashed bananas. Beat for 1 minute. Place the batter in a greased 9-by-13-by-2-inch pan.
To make the topping, squeeze the flour, brown sugar, and butter together with your hands. Crumble the topping evenly over the batter. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. When the cake is done, an inserted toothpick or fork should come out clean from the center.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 02/26/2018 I loved this cake recipe! I made it for a big dinner and it was a huge hit. I added chopped Pecans to the crumble topping, and made it in a round springform. It was light, very tasty and not too sweet. The butter is a great ingredient (it didn't have the usual greasy feel of oily banana breads)! I too added a little cinnamon to both cake and topping. People took some home to have with coffee in the AM. Great Cake. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 3 stars 01/22/2018 I made this cake with a few minor adjustments. I added about 2tsp cinnamon to dry ingredients. I sifted dry ingredients first then added all the wet ingredients to the mixer, stirred until just combined then added 3/4cups chopped walnuts. For the crumb I also added some cinnamon about 1tsp and a handful of walnuts. Made sure to cut in cold butter for crumb on top. Turned out good. Tastes like banana bread but is nice and thin, easy to cut into squares for guests. I would definitely make again. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 05/26/2017 This cake is well decorated and looking very beautiful, The recipe of this cake that you provided is also very simple. Now I am going to make it. Last time i made such beautiful cakes from : http://www.cakengifts.in/birthday-cakes http://www.cakengifts.in/anniversary-cakes http://www.cakengifts.in/cake-delivery-in-delhi Martha Stewart Member Rating: 3 stars 08/23/2015 I modify this recipe a little. I use 1/3 cup of honey instead of sugar for the cake batter and 1/3 cup of soy milk instead of buttermilk. I also add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. The cake turned out great, not really sweet,which is good for my taste. Thanks for the recipe. I'm sure will make it again next time. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/06/2015 This cake turned out good but I didn't follow the directions written here. I put the wet ingredients and sugar, followed by the dry I combined both and did not over mix. I often add the flour mix while standing near the mixer and once I see the flour disappear into the dough I turn off the mixer. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4 stars 09/13/2014 The cake itself is great. But I would not use the topping again, I agree with the other reviewers that it did not turn out well. I even put the topping in the fridge while I made the cake but it still came out with craters in the cake. I added a dash of honey to the bananas while mashing them. Next time I will add Walnuts and Cinnamon for the added punch. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 3 stars 06/16/2013 This recipe is good but not amazing. It felt like it needed a little more flavor--next time I might try adding some cinnamon to give it some oomph. One thing to know is that the butter in the crumble topping does need to be cold, which isn't really specified. Mine was softer than it should have been because it was hot that day, so the topping left sugary craters in the cake instead of a nice crumble. Definitely an easy recipe and one I'll try again, with a couple tweaks. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/24/2013 Best banana cake recipe ever! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 02/18/2013 Love, Love this cake...just as you made it -but it is great that we can all have it our way! I have made this cake 4-5 time in the last couple months YUMMMMM Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 11/04/2012 Is it okay to substitute the butter with canola or vegetable oil? Also, would it hurt the recipe if I just mixed all the wet ingredients together? I find the steps a little bit of a hassle. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 11/05/2011 Excelent recipe! Although the crumbs are not what I expected, they looked and tasted amazing!! Two thumbs up!! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 09/21/2011 Great recipe - I substituted sunflower oil for the butter in the cake batter and also added oats to the topping. So far eveyone likes it! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/16/2011 mmmm, deliciouuuuus!. I added walnuts and double the amount of topping.Martha Stewart Member
