Banana Cake With Crunchy N'dizi and Banana Whipped Cream image

Kenyans enjoy snacking on bananas covered with roasted peanuts, a treat they call crunchy n'dizi. They are best when eaten hot, right from the oven. In the recipe below I've called the n'dizi crunchy banana as it's the only way I could get the data base to recognize it as the heading for that portion of this recipe.
