Steps:
- For the banana cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Add the bananas to the butter mixture and mix until combined. Let the mixer do the work of mashing for you. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well combined. Mix in the yogurt and vanilla. Turn the mixer to low and add the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack and cool completely.
- For the cream cheese frosting: Using the electric mixer on high speed, blend the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the confectioners' sugar and then the vanilla.
- Spread the frosting on top of the cake. Decorate around the perimeter of the cake with raspberries, if desired.

Mashed bananas adds more than just flavor to this cake--it also keeps the layers moist. I found this recipe on aol.com/food/ while I was surfing around. This looked very interesting and it turned out so beautifully. It tastes great too! It uses coconut which I don't like so I only ate a smidgin!

BANANA LAYER CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
I made this years ago for a birthday and immediately lost the recipe which I have been searching for ever since. I finally found it on epicurious so I am posting her for safe keeping. It must be good if I've been looking for it that long right? I didn't use cake flour when I made it and it turned out wonderful still. Prep time is approximate.
