| Banana Crumble (Hope Cake) |
I love crumble, so I doubled the crumble topping ingredients, but I don't think I'll do that next time. And there will be plenty of next times. This cake is wonderful!
Ingredients
For the cake:
3 cups flour
¾ cup butter, softened
8 oz cream cheese, softened
3 medium bananas, mashed
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
For the crumble topping:
½ cup chopped nuts
½ cup brown sugar
2 tbs butter
1 tbs flour
For the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Grease a 9x13 dish.
- Cream together the butter, cream cheese, bananas, vanilla and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between.
- Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until batter forms. Pour batter into the prepared pan, set aside.
For the crumble topping:
- Mix together the flour and brown sugar. Cut in the butter until crumbly. Mix in the nuts.
- Sprinkle the the topping over the cake batter.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
* What I did:
I used walnuts, but I'll try with pecans next time. I also used vanilla paste instead of extract. Like I mentioned, I doubled the crumble, but that may have been too much.
I filled two mini-loaf pans and a 9 x 9 inch square pan. It took way longer to bake.
Enjoy!
