Banana cakes

It's a wonderful way to deal with leftover banana. I like this flavor of banana and walnut mixed with dark chocolate. This cake is not very sweet. Because I try to control the intake of sweet food these days, I didn't use much sugar. You can adjust the amount anyway. This recipe is from La tartingourmande. I changed the steps a little bit since I don't have a mixer yet.  And I also mixed the eggs york and whites seperately to try to get more fluffy taste. However I really don't know what if I didn't do that seperately. I guess it would also be fine. You can try it anyway.

The tomato seeds that I just planted 10 days ago. They are too close though, I'm worrying about if the tomato will grow up well. However, I do like this light green colour.
