1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mashed banana, oil, vanilla, and egg.

Add the wet ingredients to the center of the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. There should be no dry patches but do not overmix.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Pour the batter into the cake pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 20 - 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean, a few crumbs is okay.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert the pan and place the cake on a wire rack and let cool completely.

Garnish with powdered sugar if desired, serve and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure that you do not over-mix this cake so it doesn't become chewy.
You can use a 9" springform pan or a high sided 9" round baking pan for this recipe.
This can be frozen, see my tips above on how to do that.
Dress this up how you'd like. Add frosting, powdered sugar, whatever you like!
The vanilla yogurt can be substituted, see my suggestions above.
