- 2 Eggland's Best eggs (large)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Cream Cheese Frosting:

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
Add banana, yogurt, butter and eggs to a large mixing bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed just until blended. Add sugars and beat on medium just until blended.
In a separate bowl whisk flour, baking soda, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger and allspice together. Add to banana mixture and beat just until blended.
Bake for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely before frosting.
For Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract. With the mixer on low speed, add the powdered sugar a cup at a time until creamy and thick enough to spread.
