Adjust rack one-third up from the bottom of the oven.  Preheat oven to 375
F.  Butter a 9 x 3 1/2-inch tube pan and dust it all over lightly with
fine, dry bread crumbs.
In a small bowl toss the nuts with about 1 tablespoon of the flour to coat
them thoroughly.  Set aside.  Sift remainder of flour with baking soda and
salt.  Set aside.
In small bowl of electric mixer break up the bananas.  Beat them at low
speed only enough to mash.  You should get 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups.  Set aside.
In large bowl of mixer (with same beaters) cream the butter.  Add vanilla
and sugar and beat for a few minutes, using a rubber spatula as necessary
to keep mixture blended. Add the eggs and continue to beat for 1 to 2
minutes.  On lowest speed add half of the dry ingredients, then the
buttermilk, and then the remainder of the dry ingredients, continuing to
scrape bowl with rubber spatula as necessary. Add mashed bananas, beating
only enough to blend. Remove from mixer. Stir in nuts.
Turn batter into prepared pan.  Level top by rotating pan briskly back and
forth.  Bake 1 to 1 1/4 hours or until cake tester comes out dry.  Cool in
pan on a rack for about 10 minutes. Cover with a rack or a small cookie
sheet. Invert and remove pan. Cover with a rack and invert again to cool,
right side up.
