Banana Crumb Cake
 
Here is another of my mothers recipes. A great way to use up those left over bananas. She served this as a bar cookie but I think it's more like a cake. Try cutting the sugar, they are rich and wonderful but very sweet. Also don't forget that your plants really benefit from the potassium of the banana. I like to save all the peels, cut them in pieces and spread around the roots of roses and gardenias.

2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. brown sugar
1 stick of butter or margarine
Mix together the dry ingredients then cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives. Press 1 1/2 c. of the crumbs into the bottom of a 9X13 baking pan. Set aside 1/2 c. of crumbs for the topping.
To the remainder of the crumbs add these dry ingredients and mix well:
1 t. soda
1 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. ground nutmeg
Mix together:
1 c. thin sliced or mashed bananas
1/2 c. sour cream
1 egg
Add to dry ingredients and mix well for 1 minute. Spread batter over crumb crust, spreading smooth. Top with the 1/2 c. reserved crumb mixture.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 min. or until golden and set.
If you use a glass baking pan don't forget to reduce the temp. by 25 degrees.
