VERY dry - would not make again

I needed to use up some bananas and wasn't in the mood to make banana bread so I tried this recipe. I followed the recipe ingredients and instructions exactly and my cake was terribly dry, the main reason for the low rating I give it. It is very hard to check if the cake is done or not with the topping and cranberries covering the surface of the cake, so I followed the low end of the specified cooking time and my cake was overdone. I don't know if it would have been moister if I'd cooked it less. Also, the topping wasn't anything like a crumb topping, it was basically melted brown sugar. I should have known better when melting the butter was called for. Just using softened butter and mixing into the topping ingredients would have probably gotten a crumb-like result, melted butter did not. Lastly, I'm not at all sure I like the flavor combination of banana and cranberry.

This was so easy to make....perfect for that morning when you want something sweet to eat. I didn't have whole berry cranberry sauce, so I used jelled cranberry sauce instead. This was a big hit with my family!

Delicious! Quick to make, too, and pretty on the plate. I like how it doesn't puff up really high in the pan, so you get a lot of cranberry and topping flavor in each bite. Some coffee cakes are just a bunch of semisweet dough. Yuk!

This was a great recipe! I actually used it for Easter because I had the ingredients. It was a hit at church. It seemed like it would be dry when I put it in the pan but it turned out to be a nice moist cake with great flavor-I loved the topping-you couldn't really tell that it was cranberry with the crumb topping which was delicious!
