Banana Therapy Coffee Cake

This was a recipe I created as an option other than banana bread for over ripe bananas. It's a full flavor, dense, coffee cake that can be served for brunches or a relaxed dessert after dinner. It's golden color and sweet aroma makes it a great option for banana bread lovers.
