How to Make Banana Cake With Chocolate Chip Streusel
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan (or 9-inch springform pan).
- Make the streusel: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup chocolate chips, ½ cup chopped walnuts, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. Mix until crumbly.
- Set the streusel aside.
- Make the cake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a medium bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until smooth. Add the mashed bananas and ½ cup buttermilk to the wet ingredients; mix until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour about 2 cups of the batter into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle half of the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
- Pour the remaining batter over the streusel layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining streusel topping evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
