Ingredients
Serves 12
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, divided
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (4 medium) ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup peanut butter morsels
- 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350˚F. Spray a 13- x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
2
Beat 1 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, 3/4 cup butter and the vanilla in a large bowl using an electric mixer set at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3
Combine 3 cups flour, the baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add the flour mixture alternately to the butter mixture with the bananas and sour cream. Add the peanut butter morsels. Mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Pour into the prepared baking pan.
4
Combine the remaning sugar, butter, flour and the peanuts in a small bowl. Use a fork to mix and crumble to resemble coarse crumbs.
5
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter and bake 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, then dust with the confectioners’ sugar. Cut into squares and serve.

Grandma's Secret Tip
Make a “sling” from foil to easily remove the cake. Cut a piece long enough to overhang the pan on each side. Press into pan. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. After baking, cool 15 minutes, lift sling from pan & peel from cake.
Variation Idea
Variation Idea
Use almonds, cashews or walnuts instead of peanuts. Or try white chocolate chips instead of peanut butter morsels.

Freeze cake up to 3 months. Wrap & freeze in individual servings. Thaw in refrigerator, then warm gently in the microwave. It will taste just-baked.
