Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325° F. Line an 8x8-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with parchment. Alternatively, for a metal pan, heat the oven to 350° F and prepare the pan in a similar manner.
  • To make the topping, whisk together flour, brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted butter with a fork until moist clumps form. Set aside the topping.
  • For the cake, whisk together flour, buttermilk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add eggs, bananas, milk and vanilla and mix until well combined. Mix in the dry ingredients just until blended.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Scatter the topping, in clumps, on top of the batter.
  • Bake 55 to 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • To make the icing, whisk together powdered sugar, water and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm cake.
