6. Add the banana mixture and the flour mixture to the bowl of your stand mixer and beat until combined.
7. Add the chopped peanuts and mix to incorporate.
8. Divide the mixture between the prepared bundt pans and bake in the preheated oven for 20 – 25 minutes until well risen and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
9. Leave to cool in the tin for 2 – 3 minutes before turning them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
10. To make the glaze, place the sugar, butter, cream and sea salt into a small saucepan and gently heat, stirring all the time, until the sugar has dissolved.
11. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 30 seconds.
12. Take the pan off the heat and add the chocolate and stir to combine.
13. Let the glaze cool for 5 minutes and spoon over the cakes.
