Double Banana Coffee Cake doubles down on banana flavor for twice the deliciousness and zero regrets. Moist layers of mashed banana goodness pair with a crumbly, buttery topping. The result? A slice that balances sweetness, texture, and pure comfort. This cake screams “second slice” louder than your conscience says no. Perfect for brunches, lazy mornings, or mid-week indulgences that taste better than they should. Serve it warm or room temperature; either way, it disappears fast. If you’re banana-obsessed, this is the recipe for you—because sometimes, more really is more.
