Step by step instructions
Step 1. While the oven is preheating, beat the butter and sugar. I used a hand mixer.
Step 2. Stir in the mashed bananas, egg, sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Step 3. Get out a separate bowl. Whisk together the dry ingredients.
Step 4. Mix together the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix. I prefer to mix this by hand so that the batter does not get over mixed.
Step 5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Step 6. Make the crumble. Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl. Then add the flour, sugar and cinnamon.
Step 7. Finally, sprinkle the mixture evenly on top of the batter in the pan.
Step 8. Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 9. While the cake cools, make the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk. You can add more milk until the glaze is the consistency that you prefer.
Step 10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Serve and enjoy.
Pro Tips
- Measure the flour carefully. Do not scoop the flour but instead spoon into the measuring cup.
- Do not overmix the ingredients. Make sure to combine the wet and dry ingredients separately before mixing together.
- Use the correct amount of bananas. If you use too much, the cake will fall part. If you use less than suggested, it will not be moist enough.
