Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. In one bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and cinnamon.
3. In a large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, sugar and eggs until combined. Then whisk in the yogurt and melted butter.
4. Whisk in the baking soda, vanilla and salt.
5. Add the flour mixture in 3 to 4 batches, mixing only until just combined to avoid a dense, dry cake.
6. Fold in any chocolate, nuts or dried fruit you are using.
7. Spread the batter in a greased 9 x 13-inch baking pan, or a greased 9-inch round springform pan.
8. Bake on the center rack for 20 to 25 minutes (45 to 50 minutes in the springform pan), until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
9. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan. Let it cool to room temperature.
10. Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving. For optional cream cheese icing, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 4 oz softened butter until fluffy, add 3 cups confectioner's sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla and beat until smooth, then thin with 2 to 4 tablespoons whole milk to the desired consistency, and spread over the cooled cake.
