Provided by Samantha Merritt

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 Tablespoons butter melted
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar tightly packed
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
3/4 cup sugar
3 very ripe bananas (mashed (1 ½ cups))
2 large eggs (lightly beaten (room temperature preferred))
1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tablespoons sour cream
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2-3 teaspoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease and flour a 9x13 baking pan. Set aside.
  • Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl and use an electric mixer). Beat until well-combined, then stir in mashed bananas.
  • Add eggs, stirring well after each addition, and then add sour cream and vanilla extract and stir well.
  • In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to wet, stirring until completely combined (be sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl). I prefer to do this with a spatula to avoid over-mixing the batter.
  • Pour batter evenly into prepared 9x13 pan. Prepare Streusel.

  • Don't overbake the cake: A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
