In reply to Tara. I had the same problem as you with the crumb topping. Tasted the flour and the crumbs were not chunky. If I made it again, I would only do 1 1/2 cups flour, increase the sugar to 1 cup, keep the cinnamon the same and instead of melted butter I would use cold butter to cut into mixture.

In reply to Tara. Yup- 2 cups. I make this crumb topping for virtually every "crumb-topped" thing I make and it always works well. So sorry it didn't work out for you!

K, something is wrong with my crumb topping. Is there really supposed to be 2 cups flour??? This did not turn out right…. Please respond….

Just made this yesterday. I love all things banana.. The cake was good but the cinnamon swirl overwhelmed the flavor of the banana cake and made the whole thing wayyyyy too sweet. Between the sweetness of the crumb topping (Which I always love and had to add more butter to get the right consistency of crumbs) and sugar in the cake itself the cinnamon layer was just too much! I like the idea of this cinnamon layer and will use it in a different cake, but next time I make this I will omit the cinnamon layer and maybe add another banana to the cake.

In reply to Mildred. You could use sour cream, yogurt, or like Becky said- regular milk with lemon juice or vinegar to make it "sour milk"

In reply to Mildred. Hey, you could make buttermilk while taking milk, mix it with a spoon of lemonjuice (or depending on the taste with vinegar), let it sit for 10 minutes and then go on with the recipe. I hope, this is helping?! Best, Becky
