INGREDIENTS:

TOPPING

1/3 cup Pancake mix

1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup banana puree

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup chopped nuts ( I used Walnuts )

1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tsp any instant coffee powder.

BATTER.

2 cups Pancake mix

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup Oil
3/4 cup yogurt or less

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 9-inch baking pan.

1. Start by preparing the topping. In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix the pancake mix flour, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, chopped nuts, butter, and coffee powder until well combined. Set this mixture aside.

2. In another bowl, combine the pancake mix, sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add sour cream, oil, and yogurt. Blend the ingredients until the dry components are just about combined. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle with half of the topping mixture, then layer with the remaining batter and sprinkle the remaining topping.

3. Bake at 180°C for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep in mind that oven timings may vary.

Serve the cake garnished with powdered sugar, if desired.
