Cranberry Banana Coffee Cake
I’ve always utilized the space in my freezer, too. If I’ve had time to make one of these Cranberry Banana Coffee Cakes, I’ve had time to make two. Making one ahead to freeze for later is always a good idea. That way, if an unexpected guest shows up, you have something to pop in the oven. Cutting and serving this coffee cake to your guests is a sure sign of love!
Step One: Gather Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Gather the ingredients so they are ready to go.
Step Two: Whisk Dry Ingredients
Prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Mix 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
Combine the brown sugar, chopped pecans, and flour in a small bowl.
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.

What can I serve with this coffee cake?

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

You can easily freeze this coffee cake; you just need to have the right materials. You can transfer the coffee cake to a freezer-safe container or 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.
