  • Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)
  • 1 cup Soft Brown sugar
  • 2 Large Free Range Eggs
  • 2 cups Self Raising Flour
  • 3 Bananas (mashed with a fork)
  • 4tbsp Crunchy Peanut Butter
  • 3 tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • Splash of Milk

Instructions

  1. Oven to 175C, Line a 9×5″ loaf tin and put to one side. In a bowl, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. It’s gonna look gross, but promise it will come together! Mash the banana’s on a plate with a fork – keep some clumps to add texture to the loaf. Fold into the egg/butter mixture, slowly mix in the flour and it will come together to more of a batter.
  3. Mix in the peanut butter, I used up a jar I had been working on if you don’t fancy too much then don’t add all of it – simples.
  4. Spoon most of the mixture into the loaf tin, leaving roughly a third in the bowl. Add the cocoa powder to the remaining third in the bowl and mix well, if the mixture looks a little dry, add a splash of milk to loosen the mixture slightly. Spoon on to of the mixture in the tin, you can swirl the mixtures at this stage to marble the cake, I fancied just doing mine fairly straightforward.
  5. Bake in the oven for 45 mins to 1 hr, it will be a moist loaf but you want a skewer to come out clean and not a raw mixture. This loaf will look a bit rough around the edges – but tastes damn fine. Cool in the tin slightly before slicing into thick wedges could even serve with vanilla ice cream.
