Ingredients
Cake
- 3 cups whole-wheat flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups very ripe banana, mashed
Cake Topping
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground or freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Sauteed Bananas
- 4 large bananas, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
Preparation
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. In a large bowl, cream the sugar, butter and salt until light in color. Add the eggs to the sugar and butter mixture one at a time, mixing well. Add the yogurt and mashed bananas and combine, then mix in the flour and baking soda until everything is well-combined. Divide batter between the prepared pans.
- For the topping: In a small bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Drizzle in the butter, stirring to form a crumble-like consistency. Sprinkle the topping onto one of the cakes before baking.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, rotating once, until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Remove to a rack to cool.
- For the sauteed bananas: Melt butter in a pan and saute the banana slices for 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and continue sauteing until bananas are brown and caramelized but still hold their shape.
- Arrange the sauteed bananas in a single layer on the cake that does not have topping. Place the cake with topping on top.
