Can you ever have too many recipes that use ripe bananas?
Since we regularly end up with extra bananas, I like finding ways to use them that go beyond our regular banana bread.
This Banana Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake is moist and tender.
It has a cinnamon swirl throughout the cake and is topped with a generous sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar.
So, if you're looking for a delicious new way to use up your bananas, give this cake a try!

The smell of the cake is wonderful havent tried it yet so looking forward to have a piece soon. May i suggest to anyone who is wanting to make this. Make sure your pan is Tall. Some of the banana batter started falling on the sides while baking as my pan wasnt so tall. Thanks for the recipe.
Kate
Thanks! Did you use a tube pan? It has high sides and that should contain the batter so that you don't have that issue next time. =)

Baking this as I write. The smell is wonderful. I can't wait to try it. I wonder how easily it will come out of the bundt cake pan?

I don't see the coffee in the ingtedients. Where is it supposed to be? How much?
Kate
There isn't actually coffee in a coffee cake. They are cakes that are traditionally served with coffee, which is where the name comes from.
Sarah
How long does this coffee cake last? I have made it before but it was eaten very quickly last time!
Kate
We've never made it past a day! =) I would guess 2-3 days, but I'm not sure.
TJ
Is there anything that can substitute for the Greek yogurt?
Kate
Hi! You can use sour cream (I don't recommend fat-free), or you can use buttermilk.
