Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Butter a 9x5x3 / 8-cup loaf pan (or 8x8 cake pan) and line it with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the pecans and set aside.
- Stir the dates into the melted butter, breaking up the dates a bit.
- In a separate bowl combine the bananas and carrots. Stir in the date-butter mixture, breaking up any date clumps as you go. Whisk in the yogurt and the eggs. Add the flour mixture and stir until everything just comes together.
- Spoon into the prepared pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick tests clean in the center of the cake. Remove from oven and let cool.
- Frosting (optional): Whip together the cream cheese and agave nectar. (Adjust sweetness to suit your tastes.) When the cake has completely cooled frost the top of the cake.
