Reduce speed to low and add oil in a slow stream, mixing, then mix in bananas, lemon juice and vanilla, remove from mixer. Combine flours and walnuts together and mixture gently and thoroughly with a rubber spatula. Lastly add in milk and mix well.
Pour the batter into the loaf pan, spreading evenly. Slice banana into half and place on top of batter.

Brush some melted butter on top of cake once it is out of the oven. Leave cake to cool on wire rack and dust with some snow powder before serving.
