Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Cinnamon Crumble:

  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (55g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the Sweet Glaze:

  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp (30-45ml) milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch (23x23cm) baking pan and set aside.
  2. Make the Cake Batter:
    In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  4. Prepare the Cinnamon Crumble:
    In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and cinnamon until it resembles a coarse crumb. Sprinkle evenly over the cake batter.
  5. Bake:
    Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
  6. Make the Sweet Glaze:
    In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
  7. Glaze and Serve:
    Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Slice into squares and serve.
