BANANA-ALMOND STREUSEL BUNDT® CAKE

Steps:

• Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add almonds and toast slowly, watching carefully and stirring constantly until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool, about 5 minutes. Chop into coarse pieces.
• Combine butter, brown sugar, flour, white sugar, and cinnamon for streusel in a bowl. Blend using a pastry blender. Stir in almonds gently and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Mix flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
• Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy. Add sugar and whip until fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix bananas into batter on low speed until just blended. Alternate adding flour mixture and yogurt until batter is combined.
• Place 1/4 cup of batter into the prepared cake pan. Layer with 1/2 of the streusel mixture. Add another 1/4 cup of batter and top with remaining streusel. Add remaining batter; pan will be very full, but should not overflow.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer or long spaghetti noodle inserted into the center of the cake comes out very clean, 65 to 75 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert the pan onto the rack to remove the cake.
