Make the Cake
- Cream together butter and sugar, in a mixer with paddle attachment, until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs or bananas on at a time, scrape in between each addition, until fully blended. Will look a little broken and chunky.
- Sift dry ingredients set aside.
- Stir together buttermilk and vanilla
- Alternate dry and wet. Start with ½ dry until just incorporated, scrape bowl. Add wet slowly until just incorporated, scrape. Finish with rest of dry, scrape, fully incorporate.
- Fold in chopped up bananas
- Top with streusel.
- Pour in sprayed 9” X 13” glass baking dish.
- Bake at 375°F for 30-40 minutes, until done in the center.
- While the cake is still hot take warm soak and pour over cake. Do this slowly, not to spill. Will look like a lot but I will soak in as it cools.
- Wait until fully cooled before cutting. Serve chilled or heat 10 secs in microwave for slight warmth.
