¹⁄³

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat two 8-inch round layer cake pans with cooking spray, then flour them.

Combine flour and next three ingredients in a small bowl; reserve.

In a large mixing bowl, cream margarine and sugar on Speed 1/Low until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add yogurt and egg yolk and mix on Speed 3/Medium until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.

Combine mashed banana, milk, and almond extract in a small bowl or two-cup measure.

Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with banana mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat on Speed 1/Low after each addition until well blended, about 20 seconds. Increase to Speed 3/Medium and beat and additional 20 seconds. Add walnuts and mix on Speed 1/Low until blended, about 20 seconds.

In a medium bowl, beat all 3 egg whites on Speed 5/High until stiff peaks form,

about 1½ minutes. Using a rubber spatula, fold beaten egg whites into batter.

Add batter to pan and tap pans gently on counter to remove air bubbles.

Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and tops are golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool 15 minutes in pans. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack before frosting.
