Banana Crumb Snack Cake

I got this recipe from the Taste of Home and everyone thought it was yum.  It helps get rid of the extra ripe bananas that might be floating around.  I used half wheat half white flour and I didn't have vanilla chips so I chopped 1 c. of white chocolate. I also found it took at least the full 40 min.

2/3 c. slivered almonds or chopped almonds

1/4 c. packed brown sugar

2/3 c. soft butter

1 1/2 c. sugar

2 eggs

3/4 tsp. almond extract

3 c. flour (or 1 1/2 white and 1 1/2 wheat flour)

2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. baking powder

3-4 mashed ripe bananas

1 c. (8 oz.) sour cream

1 c. vanilla or white chips

In a small bowl, combine almonds and brown sugar; set aside.  In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Beat in extract.

Combine the flour, baking soda and baking powder; add to the creamed mixture alternately with bananas and sour cream.  Fold in chips.  Spread into a greased 13x9 in. baking pan. Sprinkle with the almond and brown sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool on a wire rack.
