- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 or 9-inch round cake pan with butter.
- Melt 1/2 cup of butter with 1 cup of brown sugar in the pan over medium heat, stirring until bubbling and smooth.
- Cut 2-3 ripe bananas into 1/2-inch slices and arrange them over the caramel in a single layer.
- In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Cream together 1/2 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then fold in 1 cup Greek yogurt and 1 cup mashed bananas.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the arranged bananas in the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, then lower to 325°F (163°C) for an additional 25-35 minutes.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert it onto a plate.
- For the glaze, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup butter, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan, boil for 2-3 minutes until thick.
- Drizzle the warm glaze over the cake just before serving.

Notes
Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness. Grease the pan generously to prevent sticking.
