Banana Streusel Coffee Cake

My Banana Streusel Coffee Cake is super moist with a sweet cream cheese frosting. Perfect for breakfast or dessert!

We had our annual family reunion over the July 4th weekend. Now this is not your ordinary family reunion. The immediate family consists of 12 brothers and sisters. So this means with kids, grand kids and great grand kids the number usually totals around 70. The family has been getting together annually for 49 consecutive years, which is absolutely amazing.

Family is a big deal so this reunion lasts 3 days. It starts on Friday night with a grill out. Saturday we have a big dinner around 1:00. Everyone brings a dish, but we also chicken and sides catered. A good old southern fried chicken dinner. After dinner we have a family meeting and an auction to raise funds for next years gathering.

For the auction, everyone donates items to be bid on. I donated my habanero jelly and it sold for a nice little profit. There is also games for the kids and adults. Around 6:00 we fire up the grill again and eat again. But wait there is more…. On Sunday morning we get together again for a big country breakfast and I mean big. All of the favorites including biscuits, homemade gravy, bacon, sausage, pork chops, chocolate gravy, eggs, and fruit.

Banana Streusel Coffee Cake

This year I decided to bring my Banana Streusel Coffee Cake for an alternative to all the southern goodness. The Banana Streusel Coffee Cake stayed extremely moist even though I had made it on Thursday before we drove down to the reunion. I wrapped the cake in plastic wrap and stored it in the fridge until ready to serve. It was a big hit and everyone wanted the recipe. So my family here it is.

We had a great time and can’t wait to go back and see the family again next year. Make sure you take time to visit your extended family because we are not getting any younger and things happen in life.

Four of the brothers had heart problems this year and two of the sisters have battled and beat breast cancer, including my mom. But unfortunately, we lost one of our cousins to cancer at the young age of 59. So make time to visit and keep in touch because you never know what the future will hold.

I hope you enjoy my Banana Streusel Coffee Cake, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
