Print this recipe here: https://www.dimitrasdishes.com/banana-cake/

Ingredients
2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4-5 ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup (165g) granulated sugar
4 oz (115g) unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs at room temperature
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup Greek yogurt at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Optional:

ground walnuts or pecans
dried fruit: cranberries, raisins, cherries, dates
chocolate chips
Toppings:

Confectioner's sugar
Cream cheese icing
chocolate hazelnut spread
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl and whisk together.

In a large bowl, add the mashed bananas, the sugar, and eggs. Mix together until combined. Add the yogurt, melted butter and whisk together.

Add the baking soda, vanilla extract,a nd salt and whisk together.

Add the flour mixture in 3-4 batches until just combined. Overmixing will create a dense and dry cake.

Fold in any chocolate, nuts, and/or dried fruit if using.

Spread the batter in a greased 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Alternatively, you may use a 9-inch round springform pan that has been greased.

Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick that has been inserted into the cneter comes out clean or with some moist crumbs attached.

If you're baking the cake in the 9-inch round springform pan, it will take 45-50 minutes to bake.

As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, run a knife around the edges to release it from the sides of the pan. Allow it to cool at room temperature.

Dust with confectioner's sugar and serve with some Greek coffee.

Optional: spread cream cheese icing across the top of the cake. Recipe follows.

Cream Cheese Icing:

8 oz (224g) cream cheese, softened

4 oz unsalted butter, softened

3 cups (360g) confectioner's sugar

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2-4 tablespoons whole milk

Beat the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy. Add the confectioner's sugar and the vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Add some milk to thin it out to the desired consistency.

Notes
A delicious topping that goes well with the banana flavor is chocolate hazelnut spread. Warm it slightly so that it reaches a pourable consistency and drizzle over top of the cake.
