Banana crumble cake with cinnamon
This banana crumble cake is the kind of baking that makes your house smell instantly like Sunday. Ripe bananas give the cake a natural sweetness and moistness, while a layer of crumbly topping of flour, butter and sugar provides that irresistible crunch. The cinnamon finishes it off - warm, spicy and comforting, without being overpowering. Perfect with a cup of coffee, or as a cozy treat on a drizzly afternoon. What makes this cake so nice is that it is simple to prepare, yet feels something special. No complicated techniques or long ingredient lists: just homey flavors that come together in one soft, fragrant slice. Serve it lukewarm, so the crumb coating is still just a little crispy.
What is crumb cake?
Crumble cake - also called crumble cake - is a cake with two textures in one bite: fluffy and soft inside, crispy on top. The top layer consists of crumbs of flour, butter and sugar that caramelize into a golden brown crust during baking. That crumb layer contrasts wonderfully with the creamy cake batter underneath. The idea originally came from the German Streuselkuchen, but has received countless variations worldwide: with fruit, nuts or spices such as cinnamon. Crumb cake is not only delicious, but also forgiving - perfect for leftover fruit or ripe bananas that would otherwise remain in the fruit bowl.
