Method
 

Prepare the Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, alternating with the sour cream, and mix until just combined.
Make the Streusel Topping
  1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  2. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Bake the Cake
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
