Banana streusel cake

Banana streusel cake is the most yummy and healthy way to use those over ripe bananas. It pairs perfectly with your hot cup of coffee. It is incredibly soft, fluffy, moist and rich all at the same time!!!  Unlike regular  banana cake , this is topped with an amazing crunchy walnut streusel.

Streusel is a crumbly topping of butter , flour and sugar with a hint of cinnamon. This mixture can be ribboned in the middle of the cake or you can just sprinkle this  on top of your cake ...
