1
Prepare the three ripe bananas by gently pressing them on a work surface to soften. Mash thoroughly with a fork, leaving some small chunks if desired.
2
Crack the 2 eggs into the mashed bananas and gently mix together.
3
Add the baking powder and unsweetened cocoa powder. For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon. Stir gently to avoid cocoa dust scattering.
4
Warm the peanut butter in the microwave for 1 minute to liquefy it, then add to the mixture. Stir well until you have a thick cake batter consistency.
5
Fold most of the nuts into the batter. Pour the mixture into a lightly oiled or buttered loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle remaining nuts over the surface.
6
Bake in a preheated 180°C oven for 45 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Remove the cake from the oven and let cool. Once completely cooled, slice and serve, enjoying its fluffy, moist crumb.
