Ingredients

Coffee Cake:

  • 180 g Browned butter (recipe mentioned in notes)
  • 3 medium Bananas (mashed)
  • 100 g Brown sugar
  • 20 ml Strongly brewed coffee
  • 220 g All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 100 g Walnuts/Pecans (chopped)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp Milk (optional)

Streusel:

  • 40 ml Melted butter
  • 100 g Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Caster sugar

Coffee Glaze:

  • 150 g Powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp strongly brewed coffee
  • 1/8 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Make the cake:

  • Grease and line an 8-inch springform pan. Preheat your oven to 175 C.
  • Mix all the ingredients for the streusel in a small bowl (mixture will resemble wet sand.)
  • In a medium-large bowl add the browned butter (cooled), mashed bananas and sugar, and mix really well. Then add the vanilla and coffee.
  • Sift in the flour, baking powder and, salt. Add the walnuts. Gently combine with a whisk or spatula. Add milk if your batter is too thick.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Let it level out.
  • Press the streusel mixture little by little on your hand and sprinkle it on the batter.
  • Bake the cake at 175 C for approximately 50 minutes. A skewer inserted in the center should come out clean. Leave the cake to cool completely on a wire rack in the cake pan.
  • Mix the ingredients for the glaze, add enough coffee to thin it out according to your desired consistency.
  • Drizzle the glaze when the cake is slightly warm. Cut once cooled. Enjoy!

Notes

Make the brown butter:
  1. Method 1 – In a heavy bottom saucepan, heat the butter on a medium flame stirring occasionally for 5-8 mintes till the butter changes in colour and smells nutty. Set aside to cool.
  2. Method 2 – Add the butter into a microwave safe bowl and microwave on full power for about 5-6 minutes, stop to stir once in the middle. Set aside to cool.
