Introduction
This was my invention for my friend Magdelena's 15 year work anniversary party. It was a total secret, but it combined two of her favourite flavours - chocolate and banana - and added the benefit of a creamy peanut butter filling and a fudgy mocha frosting! The recipe makes a lot of cake - 2 10" springforms! - so plan accordingly. This was my invention for my friend Magdelena's 15 year work anniversary party.

Preheat the oven to 350F, grease two 10" springform pans well and line the bottoms with parchment.
Whisk together flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and white sugar until light.
Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and yogurt.
Alternately add flour mixture and milk to creamed mixture, ending with flour, mixing thoroughly.
