Variations:
* Peanut Butter Banana Cake: Add 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter to the wet ingredients for an added layer of flavor.

* Raisin Banana Bread Cake: Add 1/4 cup of raisins to the batter for added sweetness and texture.
* Vegan Banana Bread Cake: Replace the eggs with 2 flax eggs* and the Greek yogurt with 1/2 cup of plain coconut yogurt.
