Banana pie
Description
Perfect with tea and coffee. The cake turns out very large, so feel free to halve the ingredient quantities if you don't plan to serve many guests. Use bananas of medium ripeness, and mash them either with a fork or using a blender. Don't be alarmed if the baked cake looks slightly dark—this is typical for banana-based batter. Be sure to prepare the crumb topping—streusel: it creates a delicious crunchy crust on top of the cake. Serve warm or chilled. Ideal with tea.
