Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease a 2.5-litre bundt tin (ours was 26cm in diameter) with some melted butter, making sure you get in all the crevices. Mix the cocoa with 50ml kettle-hot water and set aside to cool.
• Mash the bananas, then stir in the butter, milk, eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, combine the flour, bicarb, sugar and 1/2 tsp salt. Shake the bowl a few times to encourage any lumps of sugar to come to the surface, squeeze them through your fingers and mix again.
• Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients, then transfer half the cake mixture to another bowl. Add the cocoa mix, 50g yogurt and the chocolate chips to one bowl, and the remaining 100g yogurt and 50g peanuts to the other.
• Scrape the peanut mixture into the prepared tin, then spoon over the chocolate mixture. Swirl a skewer through the two cake mixtures to create a marbled effect. Bake on the middle shelf for 1 hr. Check the cake is cooked by inserting a skewer into the centre of the sponge - if it comes out coated in any wet mixture, return to the oven for 10 mins more, then check again. Cool for 15 mins in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Mix the caramel with 1 tbsp milk to create a drizzly icing. Once the cake is cool, drizzle over the icing and scatter with the remaining peanuts. Will keep in a tin for four days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.

• Put the dry ingredients in the food processor.
• Add eggs, water, and bananas.
• Process for about 15 seconds making sure all is well mixed.
• Pour the mixture in the 2 loaf pans and bake for 30 minutes.
• When done, an inserted skewer should come out clean.
• If you don't have a food processor:.
• Mash the bananas.
• Put the bananas and the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and stir until blended.
• Proceed as above.

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 350°F Generously butter a 9- to 10-inch (12 cup) Bundt pan. (If you use a silicone pan there's no need to butter it.) Don't place the pan on a baking sheet - you want the oven's heat to circulate through the Bundt's inner tube.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt together.
• Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed until pale and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, then add the eggs one at a time, beating for about 1 minute after each egg goes inches Reduce the mixer speed to low and mix in the bananas. Finally, mix in half the dry ingredients (don't be disturbed when the batter curdles), all the sour cream and then the rest of the flour mixture. Scrape the batter into the pan, rap the pan on the counter to debubble the batter and smooth the top.
• Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a thin knife inserted deep into the center of the cake comes out clean. Check the cake after about 30 minutes - if it is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with a foil tent. Transfer the cake to a rack and cool for 10 minutes before unmolding onto the rack to cool to room temperature. If you have time, wrap the cooled cake in plastic and allow it to sit overnight before serving - it's even better the next day.
• OPTIONAL LEMONY WHITE ICING: Sift 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar into a bowl and squeeze in enough fresh lemon juice (start with 2 teaspoons and add more by drops) to make an icing thin enough to drizzle down the Bundt's curves.
• MUFFIN OPTION: Halve the recipe. You can add nuts or chocolate chips. Bake 28-32 minutes. Yields 12 muffins.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350.
• In a small bowl, mix the sugar with the chopped walnuts.
• Generously butter a large bundt pan and coat with the nuts and sugar, pressing the nuts with your fingers to help them stick. The pan sides will be coated and some of the nuts will fall to the bottom, that's fine.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well blended.
• With an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar, bananas and vanilla until well blended and the bananas are almost smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Add the eggs one at a time, beating until just incorporated.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer. With a rubber spatula alternately add half the flour mixture, all the buttermilk and the rest of the flour mixture, stirring until each addition is just blended.
• Spoon half the batter into a medium bowl and gently stir in the melted chocolate until just combined.
• With a large spoon, alternately add a scoopful of each batter to the prepared pan, working around the pan until all the batter is used.
• Gently run a knife or the tip of a rubber spatula through the batter, once clockwise and once counterclockwise, to slightly swirl the batters.
• Gently tap the pan on the counters to settle the ingredients.
• Bake the cake until a pick inserted in the batter comes out with just a few crumbs sticking to it, about 40 minutes.
• Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes*.
• Gently tap the sides of the pan on the counter to loosen the cake.
• Invert the pan onto a rack, lift off the pan and let the cake cool completely.
• *Be sure to follow the time guidelines for unmolding the cake. If you wait too long, it will stick to the pan; take it out too early and it might break into chunks.
