Bananas Too Good For Just Bread!

I love bananas and banana bread, but I never realized how good banana bread could be until my wife made it with chocolate chips & walnuts! That took bananas to new heights, not to be out done I made banana bread with chocolate chips & walnuts and a cream cheese frosting and it tasted better still! In an attempt to take the humble banana to even greater heights I have reworked my favorite coffee cake recipe, in order to make it in to a cake and add a Streusel topping. This, in conjunction with a cup of sour cream, makes a coffee cake great for any desert, but also great for a morning breakfast., with what else, you favorite coffee!

Add the rest off the batter into the pan and top with the rest of the remaining Streusel. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40-50 minutes or until a wooden tooth pick comes out cleanly.
