Batter:

  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 3 over-ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup desiccated, shredded coconut
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice or mixed spice

Crumble:

Icing:

  • 1/3 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease two 8 inch cake tins with cooking spray.
  • Beat together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla and beat together. Mix in the mashed bananas and greek yogurt. Add the flour, coconut, baking soda, spice, and salt and mix until well incorporated.
  • Pour batter into prepared tins. Combine all ingredients for the crumble (brown sugar, flour, coconut, and butter) and mix with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle mixture evenly over tops of the cakes.
  • Bake cakes in preheated ovens for 30-40 minutes or until centers are no longer jiggly. Remove from oven and let cool.
  • While the cakes are baking, whisk together the ingredients for the icing (coconut milk, vanilla, powdered sugar).
  • Stack the cooled cakes and pour icing over them. Enjoy!
