Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 medium ripe bananas (mashed)
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well-blended.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Stir the chopped walnuts or pecans into the crumb mixture and sprinkle evenly over the cake batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
