Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease an 8" cake tin well.

Stir in the brown sugar.
In another bowl, mash the bananas using a fork.
Add in the oil, yogurt, coffee, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Fold in the mixed dry ingredients, until just combined. Don't overmix.
Fold in the walnuts.
Pour the batter into your prepared tin.
Bake at 180C for 40 mins, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean with just a few moist crumbs attached.
If the cake starts browning too much on the top, cover loosely with a piece of foil.
Frosting
WIth an electric beater, whip the mascarpone cheese till its soft.
Then add the icing sugar, continue beating for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Once the cake is completely cooled, top it with the frosting.
Top with chopped walnuts and chocolate-covered coffee beans. This is optional.
Because of the frosting, this cake needs to be stored in the refridgertor.
