If you want the best banana coffee cake ever, you"ve GOT to make this. It's moistness and flavor can't be beat.... i did as Kohtzy did and use the BANANA STREUSEL COFFEE CAKE STREUSEL TOPPING, i just doubled it.. Adding half of it to the batter left the perfect amount for the topping.. You mix 1 and 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar, 1 and 1/3 cup all purpose flour, 2 and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon in a bowl, then cut in 2 sticks salted butter.. Now add 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, mix in... Add half to coffee cake batter before adding batter to baking pan and place remainder hear and there on top.... Check doneness at 30 minutes, mine took about 10 minutes more time. Place a piece of lightly coated cooking spray on foil to keep from sticking if getting to brown.. I took this to a senior meeting and everyone said it was delicious, a 10 star plus.

Wow - this was truly delicious and moist and beautiful. The ladies at the brunch I went to today loved it. I did use walnuts instead of pecans.

I was afraid I had really cocked this up as I got all the butter softened in my bowl and added the sugar etc. then went to get my cream cheese and somebody (who will remain nameless, but my DH knows who he is) had eaten half my cream cheese! What to do, what to do....I added a bit of extra butter and an extra banana and it turned out gorgeous! but that is not the only mistake I made! I didn't read the recipe properly and did not add half the topping to the batter, so I ended up spreading half the batter in the pan, sprinkling with half the topping and repeating the layers. I also added milk chocolate chips to the topping as we love chocolate and banana together. It smelt gorgeous while it was baking. It is delicious and moist, a lovely cake. Thanks!

Yummy coffee cake - moist with good banana flavor. I used reduced fat cream cheese, but other than that followed the recipe as written. Thanks for posting! -M
