Pour them into the blender and blend to a smooth pulp; set aside. Process the eggs with an electric whisk, adding the sugar a little at a time.
- Continue blending the mixture until it has a frothy consistency and a light color. You can then add the flour sifted together with the baking powder a little at a time to the mixture, so as to avoid the formation of lumps.
- Then add the salt, the oil by pouring it in at a trickle and the seeds of the vanilla pod.
- Turn off the whisks and pour in the banana puree, mix well with a spatula, after which do the same with the chopped walnuts. Pour the batter into a previously buttered and floured 22-cm-diameter cake pan.
- The cake is ready to be baked 13 in a static oven preheated to 180° C (350°F) for about 45 minutes. You can do the toothpick test to make sure the cake is ready, then take it out of the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Serve the banana cake with a sprinkling of powdered sugar to taste.
