Ingredients

coconut oil no-stick cooking spray
1 cup whole wheat flour
⅓ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
¼ cup butter, softened
¼ cup cane sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ¼ teaspoons ground allspice
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup mashed banana
¾ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cashew milk, or more as needed
½ teaspoon coconut oil, melted
⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon salt

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
Mix whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
Combine brown sugar, eggs, butter, cane sugar, vanilla extract, allspice, and nutmeg in a large bowl; mix until well blended. Stir in flour mixture. Fold in mashed banana and shredded coconut until evenly combined. Spoon batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven; turn over onto a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes.
Combine confectioners' sugar, cashew milk, coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl; stir until mixture is creamy. Drizzle over cooled cake.
