Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Combine Mixtures: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cake tender.
-
Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
-
Prepare Crumble: In another bowl, mix together the flour, sugar and cinnamon. Add cold butter and knead it in the dry mix until it resembles coarse crumbs the size of a pea.
-
Assemble the Cake: Pour half cake batter into the prepared pan. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the batter. Carefully lay the rest of the batter over the cinnamon sugar (Protip: Add a dollop of batter on each corner first then the middle of the pan. This will make it easier to spread. Use an off set spatula). Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the batter.
-
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
