    Recipe Introduction




    Great flavor and a quickie to make.


    List of Ingredients





    Topping:
    1/4 c butter (4 tbsp)at room temperature
    1/3 c sugar
    1/3 c flour
    1/3 to 1/2 c chopped, toated walnuts, optional

    Cake:
    1/4 c (4 tbsp) butter at room temperature
    6 tbsp sugar
    1 tsp vanilla
    2 eggs, room temperature
    2 overripe bananas, mashed
    1 c plus 6 tbsp flour
    1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp kosher salt
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/3 c buttermilk, yogurt or sour cream




    Recipe




    Topping:
    Combine topping ingredients in food processor and mix until combined. Add nuts, if desired. Set aside.


    Cake:
    Place butter, sugar and vanilla in mixer bowl and beat until light and fluffy. It should be light, lemon colored - beat about 3 to 5 minutes.
    Add eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping between each addition.
    Add bananas and mix until well combined.
    Scrape sides and add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon - mix until well combined.
    Add buttermilk (or yogurt or sour cream) and mix until smooth.
    Preheat to 375.
    Scrape bowl and mix slightly, then pour into prepared 8 inch square pan.
    Cover with topping and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is just beginning to lightly brown.
    Makes 9 pieces.

    Notes:
    I used unsalted butter, large eggs did not use nuts.
    The bananas I used were frozen but partly thawed before adding.
    I used buttermilk powder and water.

    Next time I will use less butter in the topping, cutting it to 3 tbsp.
    I had to bake 40 minutes so will try baking this in a 9 inch square pan, the middle did not want to finish baking.
