Apple & Banana Coffee Cake

What a week! I really need something to pamper myself. And hoping there's someone here to massage my back and leg for me, and treat me like a queen ^_^ hahaha.... That would be so GOOOOOD! But I still prefer to feed myself with my own hands. So, let's forget that and heading to my yummy recipe.

Ingredients :

1-1/2 cup all purpose flour
3/4 tspn baking soda
3/4 tspn baking powder
1/4 tspn salt
1/2 cup sugar
113gm butter
1 large egg
1-1/2 cup mashed banana
3 tbsp full cream milk
1 green apple, sliced

Struesel mixture :

1-1/4 cups chocolate chips
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped roasted walnuts
1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Method :

- combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt then set aside.
- cream butter and sugar untill fluffy.
- stir in egg and whisk untill well mixed.
- beat in mashed banana and milk then follow by the dry ingredients.
- blend well and then pour half portion to a 9x13" tray lined with parchment paper.
- line sliced apple on the batter and then sprinkle struesel mixture to cover the apple.
- and then repeat the remaining batter and struesel mixture.
- bake at 175'C for 45 mins.

I'll have to say this is the best recipe I've ever tried so far. Great feedback from all my friends and neighbours. I'll definitely make another batch of this on next week. Love the whole package especially the crispy topping and the apple sliced which provides just the exact moisture to the cake. Hope you'll enjoy it too!
