How to Make Banana Coffee Cake With Streusel Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9 1/2 x 4 inch tube pan.
  2. Make the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) 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.
  3. In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas. Add the mashed bananas, 1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee, and 1/2 cup buttermilk to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared tube pan.
  9. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter.
  10. Repeat layers with remaining batter and streusel topping.
  11. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting it onto the rack to cool completely.
  13. Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
