Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- For the Streusel:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, combine mashed bananas and sour cream.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the banana-sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Prepare the streusel: In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel over the batter. Spoon the remaining batter over the streusel. Top with the remaining streusel.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
Notes
- Ensure bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added.
- The cake can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
