Cranberry Banana Coffee Cake

I’ve always been one to utilize the space in my freezer too. If I’ve had time to make one of these Cranberry Banana Coffee Cakes, then I’ve had time to make two. Making one ahead to freeze for later is always a good idea. That way, if you have an unexpected guest show up, you have something to pop in the oven. Cutting this coffee cake and serving it to your guests is a sure sign of love! 

Step One: Gather Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Gather the ingredients so they are ready to go.

Step Two: Whisk Dry Ingredients

Prepare a 9 x 13 inches baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground allspice.

Step Three: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, for 5 to 7 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Then, add the bananas and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the cream mixture and beat just until combined.

Step Four: Spread the Batter Evenly

Spread evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step Five: Add Cranberry Sauce

Top with dollops of cranberry sauce.

Step Six: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, chopped pecans, and flour.

Step Seven: Stir In Butter

Stir in the butter.

Step Eight: Sprinkle Crumble Over The Top and Bake

Sprinkle over the top of the cranberry sauce. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. Slice into squares and serve warm.

Finished Product

Not only is the finished product beautiful, but it’s also delicious. I think this is going to be a favorite in your household, just like it is around here.

Cranberry Banana Coffee Cake Recipe

What can I serve with this coffee cake?

Have you ever thought about what you can serve with this coffee cake? One of my favorites to serve with coffee cake is always coffee. To me, black coffee tastes super delicious with this recipe. I can never get enough of the combination. If you have kids eating this dessert with you, then don’t be afraid to make them a nice warm cup of hot chocolate or a glass of milk!

How do I store this?

You can store this Cranberry Banana Coffee Cake in the fridge for about a week. When you place it in the fridge, make sure you cover it tightly with plastic wrap so it doesn’t dry out. If you end up leaving the coffee cake on the counter, it won’t hurt it, but it may not keep as long as it would when stored in the fridge.

Can I freeze this coffee cake?

You can easily freeze this coffee cake, you just need to have the right materials to do so. You can transfer the coffee cake to a freezable container or you can wrap it in aluminum foil. If you have plastic wrap this also works. You should bake the coffee cake before you freeze it. Make sure you allow the cake to cool completely before you freeze it.
