1 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
6 oz. light banana yogurt
1 large, ripe banana, mashed
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 to 2 teaspoons fat-free milk
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease and flour a 9 in. square or Bundt cake pan.
In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Add the yogurt, banana, butter, egg whites, and vanilla, mixing well. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched lightly. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn the pan upside down and let the cake completely cool on the wire rack.
When cake is cool, make the glaze by stirring together the powdered sugar, butter, and enough milk to make the glaze pourable but not too thin. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.
