This is delicious cake. I made it into pineapple upside down cupcakes instead of using the glaze. The flavors do blend best if it rests for a few hours. Had to substitute sour cream, with a little pineapple juice added, for the yogurt.

I liked this glaze a lot but to me it tasted a little too sweet and like powdered sugar. I would still use it again tho!

I loved this! And my husband couldn’t keep away! It has the moderate sweetness and feel of a mix of banana bread and cake. It used up some of my old yogurt and bananas, and was easy to make without a stand mixer! I made the icing with regular milk and sprinkled coconut and sliced almonds on top of the glaze – it was beautiful! Thank you for the recipe, I will make this again!

Good way to use up old Greek yogurt. My hubby liked this more than my usual carrot cake. But the allspice made this flavor a bit older so the kids weren’t fans. I’ll keep this recipe as an ole standby for expiring Greek yogurt, but i won’t exactly run out to get ingredients just to be able to make this again.
