Everyone complaining that the streusel topping is way too much… No way!! I love my coffee cake with plenty of streusel on top! Delish. Great recipe and a nice alternative to banana bread, which is usually what I always use my ripe bananas for. Thank you!

Hi Ida, ‘coffee cake’ just refers to the type of cake here, since it’s more dense and crumbly than traditional cake. There isn’t any actual coffee in the recipe.

Just looked at the recipe and didn’t find any coffee in it! Am I missing something here?

Made this for brunch for my family. It is very moist, great banana flavor! I didn’t have a 9×9 pan, so I used a 8×11 and it worked fine, needed a few more minutes of baking for the center to set.i didn’t make the drizzle frosting. It was buttery and delish without it. Will make again!!

It’s a 9×9 pan. It’s all fixed, thanks for catching that!

I have a question. Hope I hear back because I am planning to make this later today. Is the recipe as written for a 9×9 or 9×13 pan? In the discussion before the recipe, it says 9×9. Then, following the ingredient list…the directions say 9×13 pan. Thank you

I made this yesterday without any adjustments. I baked the recommended time, nothing came out on my toothpick.
Later that evening, I wanted to give as a dessert and the middle was not done. Only about an inch to and inch and a half from the sides. Bummer
Also, wayyyy too much strudel mix.

Tastes just like banana bread with strudel on top.

So I already left a comment. I wanted to let you know how it turned out for a doubled recipe. The cake was very good. The amount of streusel the recipe called for was at least 3 times too much. I squeezed just as much of it on the case as I could, but I sure wish I would have left the majority of it off. Just way too much. And a ton of wasted ingredients. I am very grateful that you shared the recipe. There are some measurements that just aren’t quite right though.

Since you didn’t put the amount of flour down correctly, when I doubled the recipe (it allows us to multiply to make bigger amounts, ) the amount of flour had 7.33 cups, and I didn’t question it. I mixed the dry ingredients, as it said to do. I am so happy I realized, before I added the full amount of flour mix into my wet ingredients. I would really go in and update the original amount, to show 1 1/3 cup, instead of 11/3. It really can mess up the recipe. I feel my recipe is not going to be what it is supposed to be. I didn’t have any flour left to make a fresh batch, so even the streusel had to be made with the flour, mixed with baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. I am a little disappointed, and I am really hoping it turns out good.
Thank you for the recipe.
