Lots of bananas in this cake make it super-moist and delicious. Dessert, snack...even with breakfast? You'll find yourself reaching for a piece no matter what time of day. It also features yogurt, brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and chopped toasted walnuts. Feel free to omit the nuts if you don't want any crunch in your bread. The bananas are baked in their skins for a few minutes to bring out their natural sweetness. This recipe is also a wonderful way to use up those bananas that you were afraid were getting too ripe. Dusting with powdered sugar is the perfect, beautiful finishing touch.
