The rest of the left batter poured into 8 inch pan.
Bake at 350 F until a wooden pick inserted in center comes clean. (for me it was 33 minutes)
Let it cool. Remove from the pans.
Also, bake 8 inch cake until done.

Whip 4 egg whites with 1/4 cup sugar on high speed until just past foamy.
Use 1 cup sugar and 4 TBSP of water and bring to a full boil over high heat.
Boil until sugar hits 240 F on a candy thermometer.
With the mixer on medium speed, carefully add the hot sugar to the whipped whites by pouring it
down the side of the bowl, then increase the speed and whip until the whites cooled to room temperature (8 to 9 minutes)
Then add the butter, a few pieces at a time until combined.
Add the best pure vanilla extract.

Your next step is to divide the filling into 2.

Quick Note
Bananas – use very ripe bananas for this recipe. You will need from 6 to 8 bananas to make 2 cups.
Eggs – I can’t say enough how important is to use large, fresh, organic eggs for your cakes. Please visit your local farmers market and buy the eggs.
Walnuts – please use the toasted walnuts. If you don’t like the walnuts you can use hazelnuts or pecans.
Vanilla Extract – if you can use the pure vanilla extract. I know it is very expensive but it is worth it. Also, if you want to make homemade version check this link – Vanilla Extract – Do you know how to make it?
