Ingredients

Scale
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4.5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 ripe bananas, sliced
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your chosen cake pan.
  2. For the topping, melt brown sugar and butter in the oven for about 5–7 minutes, then mix together and place sliced bananas evenly over the mixture.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time with vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate Greek yogurt and mashed bananas.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour batter over the banana layer in the pan and smooth out the top.
  7. Bake for approximately 30 minutes at 350°F (175°C), then reduce heat to 325°F (163°C) for another 25–35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow cooling before inverting onto a serving plate.
