Banana Coffee Cake!!!

Mar 3, 2012 · 24 Comments


Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour – sifted
1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons of butter
2 eggs
2 ½ tsp. baking powder
4 ripe bananas
½ cup buttermilk
Zest of 1 lemon 1 tsp. vanilla

Topping:

½ cup shredded coconut
2 tablespoons of brown sugar

Preheat Oven 350 degrees:

Sift together the flour and baking powder.

In a mixer blend the bananas. Add the butter, vanilla, sugar, eggs and lemon zest.

Add the sifted ingredients slowly.

Place the batter in buttered 8 x 8 baking pans.

Combine the coconut and brown sugar and sprinkle on top of the cakes.

Bake about 30-35 minutes or until the toothpick test comes out clean.

This is a nice way to use up those old bananas and a delicious addition to a good cup of coffee.

With Love,

Catherine

    amazing sconesss they must melt in the mouth and I also like the idea of sourish cherry preserves :). The coffee cake is also amazing but I don’t think I could make it right. Kisses Catherine.
