EASY BANANA CAKE
Yesterday was Mr. Idea Room’s birthday! He likes food in general…but he really likes cake. Especially our Banana Crumb Cake with Sour Cream. This recipe has been part of my family’s recipes for as long as I can remember. We actually call it Sandy’s Cake, after my mom’s friend Sandy who shared her family recipe with us! I have seen similar recipes of a cake like this referred to as Banana Crumb Cake, or Banana Coffee Cake.
FAVORITE BANANA COFFEE CAKE RECIPE
Anyways…One of my favorite things about this cake is that it is made with bananas. And for some reason when I buy bananas…they either are gobbled up quickly before I can use one on my bowl of Cheerios in the morning (grrr…and yes…I LOVE me some Cheerios). Or, they sit and turn brown forgotten in the fruit basket.
So, this is one of our favorite go to recipes. This is also a recipe that we like to make and share with our neighbors and friends.

Recipe Notes
Sometimes the middle of the cake needs to bake longer. If so, put foil over the cake after the 45 minutes and bake it for another 5 minutes. Test with a toothpick in the middle to see if the batter sticks to it, if it comes out clean…the cake is finished.
