Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cup cake flour
  • 1 ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ stick unsalted butter

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 Bananas mashed
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

Streusel Ingredients

  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup whole oats
  • 1 cup pecans chopped
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter cut in cubes

Glaze Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoon heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a tube pan.
  • Let's start with the streusel. In a food processor, pulse sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined. Add butter cubes and pulse 2-3 times until butter is broken up into pea sized and smaller pieces. Pour into a bowl and mix in the oats and chopped pecans. Set aside and don't pick at it. Maybe a little.
  • Sift all the dry ingredients together and mix for one minute in stand mixer. Add butter and mix until the texture of cornmeal or damp sand.
  • Whisk together all the wet ingredients. Add to dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until fully incorporated, about 1 minute. At this point, I always use a rubber spatula and give everything a good stir. Stand mixers sometimes miss bits on the bottom, and we want to get all the good stuff together. So give it a few stirs. Thanks.
  • Pour 3 cups of the batter evenly into the pan. Sprinkle with ¾ cup of the streusel. Pour over the remaining batter and sprinkle the rest of the streusel on top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool for 30 minutes on wire rack. Transfer cake, streusel side up onto cake plate (I cover the top with foil to "contain" the streusel and use a plate to flip it out, them flip it back over onto a cake plate). Let cool about 30 minutes. In the meantime, mix the glaze ingredients together. You might need a 3rd tablespoon of cream to get it to a good drizzly consistency. Try 2 tablespoon and see how you feel and add more if you want it a little more drizzly. Use a fork to spritzle it all over the cake. You're done! Cut it up and eat it. It's gonna be great!
