Banana crumb cake comes together quickly using ripe bananas, cake mix, and a sprinkle of chopped pecans for a satisfying crunch. This classic American favorite bakes up moist and tender, with a rich caramel swirl and buttery crumb topping. It’s easily assembled by mashing bananas, blending in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla, then layering with cake mix and pecans before finishing with butter. Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel and a dollop of whipped cream for an irresistibly comforting finish.

I first put this together on a busy morning and my kids were convinced I had made something from scratch at a bakery. We now bake it for weekend brunches and sometimes it is dessert with ice cream after dinner.
