CRUMBLE

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 13×9 baking pan with nonstick spray.

CAKE

Whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Beat butter and sugar together in bowl of electric mixer until blended. Add mashed bananas and beat until just combined. Add eggs and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Stir in the dry ingredients and milk alternately, beginning and ending with the milk. Pour half of the cake batter into the baking pan.
Sprinkle with half of crumb topping, then pour the remaining batter on top. Finish with the remaining crumble topping.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cover cake with aluminum if top begins browning too much. Remove the cake from oven, and cool on wire rack 20 minutes before glazing.

Add more powdered sugar if you want a thicker glaze or more milk for a thinner glaze. Drizzle over the top of cake. Cut into squares and serve.
