Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 180 C. Lightly grease a rectangular cake tin, 13 x 23 cm, with butter.
Sift flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg into a large bowl through a fine sieve, add granulated sugar, chocolate pieces and mix with a spoon.

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, yogurt, vanilla, and orange zest. Then pour the mixture into the bowl with the flour, add the chopped bananas and mix with a spoon until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until set, approximately 55 minutes (check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; the toothpick should come out clean). Remove from the pan and cool for 30 minutes.
Prepare the chocolate glaze: In a bowl, combine powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, vanilla, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the banana cake and let it set for 15-20 minutes.
