Banana Chocolate Chip Crumb Cake, the perfect coffee cake, a delicious combination of bananas and chocolate. A yummy snack or dessert cake.

Banana Chocolate Chip Crumb Cake, delicious banana crumb cake recipe, made with brown sugar, kids will love it!

Do you ever buy too much of something on purpose? Well sometimes I buy too many bananas on purpose, (ok sometimes chocolate too!) just because I know I will have 2 or 3 that will become too mature and nobody will eat them.

That’s when I get to make this amazingly delicious banana cake with a crumb topping. For me a crumb topping is the next best thing to frosting.

I absolutely love cake and I mean cake, a cake with 2 or 3 layers and with a creamy buttery icing, and lots of it. But unfortunately in my home I am the only one.

The Italian “too sweet” as he gobbles up 2 ice cream cones, “not the same thing” he continually proclaims. Ok, sure. My daughters, “too fattening”.

So one of these days I am going to make myself one of those made for one cakes with that buttery icing I so love and deserve.

For now I will be content with this Banana Crumb Cake. I have only known 2 people in my life so far who willingly eat bananas with the skin as black as night.

My mother was one and I suppose that is one of the reasons she rarely made this cake.

This Banana Chocolate Chip Crumb Cake is so moist, it must be my new favourite ingredient: Greek Yogurt.

If you noticed, I made it sky-high. I found myself a super, cute, deep  spring form cake pan. If you don’t have a spring form cake pan a normal 8 inch cake pan will work.

Either way a sunny summer day,  a cup of coffee or tea and a piece of Banana Chocolate Chip Crumb Cake and life is good! Enjoy!

        5 stars
        I gave it 5 stars because it tastes absolutely scrumptious but mine looks nothing like yours…. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I followed every step carefully and it turns out very dense and doesn’t rise much. The only thing I changed is that I put 1/3 cup of chocolate chips in the batter… Could that be the reason?! Nevertheless my kids devoured it! I have more bananas so I will probably make it again tomorrow, lol…

          Hi Daria, thanks glad they all liked it. It could be that your cake pan was bigger, I think I used a 7 inch pan at the time. Maybe a loaf pan would be a good a idea too.

            Hi Susan, sour cream is a good substitute for greek yogurt. Hope this helps.

        Stopping by from Tasty Tuesdays! I always have way too many bananas. Usually I freeze them as soon as they get to ripe to snack on, but next time I have a few, I’m making this! Banana anything is delicious, throw chocolate chips in the mix and that crumb topping, it just makes it extra special. 🙂

        Looks delicious and I do like the crumb topping. I swear that bananas clone in the freezer. When we get too many ripe bananas we freeze them and then lo and behold instead of the three or four I had thought was in the freezer there are eight or nine. So I drag out my banana chocolate chip muffin recipe. Your cake looks wonderful — next time I’ll have to make it with my cloned bananas 🙂 Have a wonderful Sunday!!
