Ingredients
  

Crumb Topping
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cake Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 ripe bananas peeled and mashed
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup almond milk
Glaze (optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons almond milk adjust for desired consistency

Equipment

  • 9" x 13" baking dish
  • Stand mixer
  • large mixing bowl
  • Small bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease a 9" x 13" baking dish with butter or cooking spray; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, crumble together the cold butter cubes, flour, sugars, and cinnamon until the mixture resembles a crumbly topping. Set aside the crumb mixture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a stand mixer, mix softened butter on medium until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and mix for another minute until well incorporated. Add the eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas, and mix just until ingredients are incorporated.
  5. Turn the mixer down to low, and alternate mixing in milk and flour until all ingredients are combined.
  6. Pour half of the cake mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with 1/3 – 1/4 of the crumb mixture. Then pour the remaining cake mixture on top of that layer and finally, top evenly with the remaining crumb topping.
  7. Bake at 350º for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. To make the optional glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of almond milk. Add more milk as needed until you get the glaze consistency you prefer. Set aside.
  9. Cool at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top, slicing, and serving.
