- CRUMB TOPPING
- Put all the ingredients in a large bowl and cut them with a fork or pastry cutter to get crumbs. Keep refrigerated while making a cake. It should be cold.
- BANANA CAKE
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter and flour 9 inch spring form pan or spray with non-stick spray. In a large dish combine flour, cinnamon, salt and baking powder. Set aside. Mash bananas. Combine mashed bananas with butter, add eggs, sugar and vanilla and whisk. Keep adding flour mixture and continue whisking. Finally add milk and whisk until well combined.

I just made this, the first thing that struck me when reading over the recipe was the obscene amount of sugar in the cake. If your bananas are ripe enough, you do NOT need 2 full cups. I reduced it to a single cup, and it's still too sweet. I can't even imagine what 2 cups of sugar would've tasted like - just in the cake alone!
As for the crumb topping, there is far too much flour in that. I felt uneasy about it from the start, and I was right to, because it came together like pebbles in a pile of sand. Since I did not want to waste the ingredients by tossing it, I had to add probably 50g (about 3 tbsps.) more butter as quickly as possible so it wouldn't melt. That seemed to help. Still, to anyone who bakes this - go easy with the flour in the crumble topping.
In the end, I baked the cake for 50 minutes, as long as I could before the topping started to get too browned. It's an extremely heavy batter, so it's going to feel dense and slightly under baked even after you've let it cooled for the suggested amount of time. I expect when it's fully cooled off, it might solidify a bit more. The tricky thing about this cake is, because it has a crumb topping, the topping might harden as it bakes, leaving you wondering what the batter is doing underneath. The cake may fall after you take it out of the oven, and you'd never even know it. Bake it as long as you can, according to the recipe. Loosely drape a piece of foil over it if the topping starts to burn before you reach 50 minutes. In my case, I omitted the chocolate chips and the glaze topping, because frankly - with all the sugar in the recipe already, it felt like it would've been overkill - and it was a good call!
The cake is tasty, but a banana cake need not be so decadent. I'll probably freeze half of it, and enjoy the rest in very small pieces. I'll add the recipe to my cookbook with the adjustments I made (possibly with even less sugar), and just follow those from now on, because I can imagine I'd like to make it again the next time I have some leftover cream cheese.
