Banana Crumb Snack Cake

Here it is!!! The long awaited recipe that I described as SCRUMPTIOUS. It really is. I'm not exaggerating or anything. In fact as I just walked up the stairs Jason yelled...are you going to make me another banana crumb cake even though we still have leftovers. I think that explains everything right there. I haven't made it for awhile and I had a few very ripe bananas and had all the ingredients on hand so I decided to make it. Man...I think now that maybe I shouldn't have because I can't keep my fingers out of it. In fact I had to hide the pan on top of the fridge because every time I walked by I had to stop and grab a piece. Make it for yourself and let me know what you think!
