Definitely the best coffee cake I’ve made so far! I did add some chopped walnuts to the crumb topping, just because bananas and walnuts belong together and I had some. Thank you for this great recipe!

I love this crumb cake! I almost never post a review, but this is a winning recipe. Being a cinnamon lover, I increased the cinnamon in the cake batter to 1 tsp. Otherwise, recipe is fine as written.

In reply to Christine. Yes, absolutely! You can wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and freeze them in a large freezer bag/container for up to 3 months.

I am sitting here patiently waiting for the cake to cool. There is quite a lot of cake so I am just wondering if I could freeze some of it?

I baked this cake, I fumbled, but I persevered. I forgot to add the butter milk, I mixed in the crumbles, as well as added it to the top. Keep in mind I was trying to follow the recipe, I messed up, rectified it. Only to find out that I forgot the buttermilk, so I’m turning it into a Rum Banana Crumble Cake. I will be adding the glaze before serving. That way no one can say my cake is dry. Somehow I managed to produce this cake out of nothing. It was an ordeal, but thank you for the recipe that inspired my creation. Caribbean vibes

In reply to Susan A.. Sorry this recipe didn't turn out well for you, Susan. There's a few other factors that could cause that to happen. If you didn't mix the butter and sugar together long enough, that could cause the cake not to rise as well. Another reason could be due to over mixing the dry ingredients. Did you only mix until just combined? And did you weigh your ingredients? If you used too much flour, that could cause that to happen as well. Did you make sure to add the buttermilk too? Also, keep in mind that this cake has mashed bananas in it so will be a little denser than most of my other cake recipes.

All of Danielle’s recipes that I have tried so far have been fabulous. Unfortunately this one was a total failure and I have no idea why. ?
I followed the recipe exactly and used a 9 inch springform pan. It looked good, smelled good, and the toothpick in the center came out clean in the end. But the cake is so dense, it is like a brick! Neither the baking powder nor the baking soda were expired. The cake is inedible. Danielle, I have no idea what happened. Any ideas?

In reply to Arielle. I think it would be fine to increase the recipe by 1/2 or even double it. You will want to increase the leaving agents based on how you increase the recipe too.

Love this recipe..! Was wondering whether it’s possible to increase the recipe by 1/2? Or if I double it, will I need to double the leavening agents too?

In reply to Anna. You shouldn't need to make any adjustments for it. The topping may be quite a bit if you bake it in a loaf pan though, so you can either cut it in half or freeze any extra topping that you have leftover.
