Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 C (350 F). Grease an 8 x 8 x 2 inch square cake pan or a 9 x 2 inch round cake pan (minimum 8 cups volume). Spread 2/3 cup brown sugar over the bottom of the pan and scatter butter pieces on top.
- Place the pan in the oven for 5-7 minutes until the butter melts. Remove from the oven, stir the melted butter and sugar, and spread evenly over the bottom.
- Layer the sliced bananas evenly over the butter and sugar mixture. Set aside.
- In a bowl, stir together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing to combine. Stir in the Greek yogurt and mashed bananas until smooth.
- On low mixer speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just to combine. Pour the batter over the banana slices, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 175 C (350 F), then reduce the temperature to 163 C (325 F) and bake an additional 25-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake completely in the pan or until just slightly warm. Use a knife to loosen the edges, place a plate upside-down over the pan, and invert the cake onto the plate.Step 09
