Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/3 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon.
- Add in the chopped pecans and stir until they are well coated with the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
- Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 2/3 cup of sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next.
- Stir in the mashed bananas and the 1 tsp of spice mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and the all-purpose wheat flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the nutty crumble topping evenly over the batter.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Check early if your oven runs hot. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
- Gently remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack.
- Slice and serve your delicious banana cake with nutty crumble topping!
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots on the skin.
- Don't overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined to keep the cake tender.
- Prep in advance: Toast the pecans in advance to bring out their full flavor before incorporating them into the crumble.
- Check for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is done.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the batter before adding the sugar, as some bananas are sweeter than others, allowing you to adjust the sugar quantity accordingly.
Congratulations, your Banana Cake with a Nutty Crumble Topping is ready to be enjoyed! The moist banana-infused cake paired with the crispy, nutty topping creates a wonderful blend of textures and flavors.
