Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease an 8x8-inch metal baking dish. Set aside.
For crumb topping, add the butter and brown sugar to a medium mixing bowl.
Mix until combined.
Add the remaining crumb ingredients.
Mix until well-combined. Set aside.
For cake, add the butter and sugar to a large mixing bowl.
Beat until well-combined, about 2-3 minutes on medium.
Add the banana, eggs, and vanilla.
Mix until well-combined.
Add the flour, salt, and baking soda.
Stir just until combined. Don't overmix.
Add the nuts, and stir in, if using.
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until wooden pick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan. Cake can be served warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Butter:
I use salted butter, but unsalted butter would also work.
Brown sugar:
I use light brown sugar.
Nuts:
Chopped walnuts could also be used.
Spices:
Feel free to add additional spices, like a pinch or two of nutmeg, if you'd prefer.
