  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) sugar

  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) finely chopped walnuts

Steps

    In large bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup of the sugar until stiff, but not dry, peaks form.

    In another small bowl, beat egg yolks slightly. Gradually beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar on medium speed about 5 minutes or until mixture is thick, lemon-coloured and forms a ribbon when beaters are lifted. Stir in bananas, oil and lemon peel.

    Fold banana mixture into beaten egg whites. Sift half of cake meal mixture over batter; gently fold in. Sift and fold in remaining cake meal mixture. Fold in walnuts. Spoon batter into sprayed pan, smoothing top.
