This cake bar is so easy to make and yet so soft and delicious! For flavoring use only nutmeg. On its own the nutmeg adds a second layer of flavour to the banana. It does not muddy the flavour cinnamon and vanilla extract would have. The full fat Greek yoghurt enhances both cake and frosting. One more thing I should mention. This is a convenient one bowl cake. Still it is a good idea to follow the recipe; dumping the ingredients into the bowl at the same time can produce all sorts of challenges.
