how to make Banana Coffee Cake

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 to 3 medium)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped pecans (for topping)
2 tablespoons sugar (for topping)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, and sugar until they are well blended.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this to the cream mixture.
In a small bowl, mix the topping ingredients (chopped pecans, sugar, and cinnamon). Add half of this mixture to the cake batter.
Transfer the batter to a greased 13×9-inch baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining topping over the batter.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool on a wire rack before serving.

how to serve Banana Coffee Cake

Banana Coffee Cake is best served warm, but it is also delicious at room temperature. Slice it into squares and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream on top for a lovely touch.

how to store Banana Coffee Cake

To store Banana Coffee Cake, place it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can refrigerate it for about a week or freeze it for up to 3 months. Be sure to wrap it well before freezing to keep it fresh.

tips to make Banana Coffee Cake

Use very ripe bananas as they are sweeter and will give your cake a better flavor.
Don’t overmix the batter; mix just until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
You can substitute walnuts for pecans if you prefer.
For extra flavor, consider adding chocolate chips or raisins to the batter.

variation

You can turn this Banana Coffee Cake into a chocolate marble cake by adding cocoa powder to half of the batter. Swirl it gently before baking to create a lovely marbled effect.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen bananas for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen bananas! Just thaw them first and mash them well before adding them to the batter.

2. What can I substitute for cream cheese?
You can use Greek yogurt or sour cream as a substitute for cream cheese for a lighter twist.

3. How can I make this cake gluten-free?
You can replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Just ensure that your other ingredients are also gluten-free.
