Double this recipe - because it's way too good to keep to yourself...and If you love cinnamon as much as I do.....you'll love the D'Licious aroma of cinnamon and spices in your kitchen!

Ok....getting really nostalgic here....I used to bake cakes in my easy-bake-oven for my mom as a little girl.  This recipe brings back those memories every time I make it!




Let's get to it! Have fun.....and if you have children or grandchildren....YES, These cute little ovens are still available!

Makes one 9-by-5-inch loaf
Ingredients
Streusel
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
  • 3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Cake
  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed until smooth (1 cup)
Directions

Streusel
​
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in lower third.
  2. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan; line with parchment, leaving a 1-inch overhang on long sides.
  3. In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
  4. Stir in butter and pecans until small clumps form and mixture is evenly moistened. (Streusel can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 3 days.)
Cake
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together butter, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk; stir in bananas.

2. Make a well in flour mixture and pour banana mixture in.

3. Stir together until just combined (do not overmix).

4. Spoon half of batter into prepared pan.

5. Sprinkle half of streusel evenly over batter.

6. Add remaining batter, then sprinkle remaining streusel evenly over top.

7. Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 1 hour, 20 minutes. (If top is browning too quickly, tent with foil.)

8. Let cool in pan 20 minutes, then transfer using parchment to a wire. Let cool completely before serving.

Have the butter ready....or eat just the way it is!  ENJOY ;-)
