How to Make Banana Coffee Cake W Macadamia Coconut Streusel

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
3. Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
4. In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup buttermilk. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute, or until well combined.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. While the cake is baking, prepare the streusel topping:
9. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup packed brown sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup macadamia nuts (chopped), ¼ cup shredded coconut, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
10. Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cooled cake.
12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
