Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup cold butter with your fingers until crumbly. Set aside for topping.
Step 3
In another bowl, mash the 2 bananas. Stir in the egg, remaining 1/4 cup butter (melted), remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
Step 4
Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 5
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the top.
Step 6
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Step 7
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
