Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Cake

A community recipe by Baking-Joy

Not tested or verified by Nigella.com

Introduction

Peanut butter + chocolate is amazing enough. But add those 2 ingredients to a simple banana cake and it becomes something else. If you can't get hold of Reese's peanut butter cups (I've found a lot of UK shops sell them now), just add extra chocolate chips. http://baking-joy.com

Mash bananas and fold into mixture with the natural yoghurt.

Chop peanut butter cups and fold into mixture, along with the chocolate chips. Pour mixture into loaf tin.

Melt the 20g of peanut butter on the hob or in a microwave. Dollop the runny peanut butter on top of the mixture and swirl with a fork.

Bake for around 1hr 20 mins until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Check cake after 1hr and place foil on top if you feel it's getting too dark.
