If you’re looking for the perfect pastry to pair with your morning cup of coffee, then you need to try Banana Bread Coffee Cake. It’s dense, has a natural blend of sweet and savory banana flavors, and is amazing with a rich, full cup of coffee. You can serve up this Banana Coffee Cake for a tasty snack, a fancy brunch, or a quick breakfast when you’re running late for work.
To make your own Banana Bread Coffee Cake, start by spraying a bundt pan with cooking spray, then preheat the oven. While it’s heating up, mix flour, melted butter, brown sugar, sugar, salt and other topping ingredients together in a medium bowl. Next, mix the rest of the dry ingredients and wet ingredients together in a stand mixer. Once they’re well blended, fold in half of the topping mixture. Pour the rest of the topping into the bottom of the bundt pan, distributing it evenly with a rubber spatula. This will be the top of your Coffee Cake when you turn it out. Lastly, pour the batter over the topping, and put it in the oven.
When the timer goes off, pull out the pan of Banana Bread Coffee Cake and insert a toothpick into the middle. When you pull the toothpick out, check to see if it’s clean. If it is, it means that the inside of the cake is cooked and ready to cool. If it isn’t, then you need to put the Banana Bread Coffee Cake back in to cook a little longer.

How Long is Banana Bread Coffee Cake Good?
- Serve: If you forgot about your Banana Bread Coffee Cake last night and left it out, don’t worry. Your Coffee Cake will be fine for up to 2 days out at room temperature before it gets stale.
- Store: Wrap up your Coffee Cake in plastic wrap or put it in a sealable bag and put it in the fridge. It will be good for up to a week.
