Banana Coffee Cake
I love small coffee cakes, they’re the perfect size for two people. The topping on this Banana Coffee Cake is made of brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans, it pairs beautifully with the banana flavour in the cake.
The texture combination of a moist, soft cake with a crunchy topping makes your mouth do a happy dance. Please make sure you use very very ripe bananas to make the cake, you want all the banana flavour you can get in this bad boy. Banana Coffee Cake, homemade goodness from my house to yours, Enjoy!

Hi Bunny, Just made this–could not wait for it to cool before cutting. Yum–a great recipe–much better to use up ripe bananas than banana bread. Thanks
