1/3 c crisco

4. Line a greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with wax paper; grease wax paper. Spoon batter into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr or until coffee cake tests done. Cool 5 or 10 minutes in pan and than remove.

Tips:

For a sweeter coffee cake, use ripe bananas and add an extra ¼ cup sugar to the batter.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
To prevent the coffee cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
To test if the coffee cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Let the coffee cake cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
