Nana's Banana Crumb Cake

Today I am sharing a brand new Cake Mix Recipe!!!  

Cake Mix Recipe #53

It happens to be my mom's recipe - not really my mom's own - but the recipe that was on her calendar from August 1985 - when I was born!  She has saved and baked this recipe for 30 years!  And it is delicious!  And it uses a cake mix!  And it has coffee cake crumb topping!  Are you convinced that this recipe needs to be in your life yet?

I have lovingly named it Nana's Banana Crumb Cake because my mom goes by Nana these days!  I also have no way of crediting the source of this recipe!  I made the recipe exactly the same as the original, just leaving out the nuts (because of Lacie's allergy).  Maybe someone will recognize this calendar from 1985?!?
