1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 bananas

1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons margarine (solid)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Make Cream Filling (recipe follows).

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease bottom of 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Line with waxed paper then grease again.

Combine in small mixing bowl the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In large mixing bowl, beat egg whites at high speed until soft mounds form. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Fold into the egg whites using rubber spatula. Spread mixture into prepared pan.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and cool.

Cut cake in half crosswise to make two 9 x 6-inch layers. Spread one layer with the Cream Filling. Top with bananas and place second layer on top of bananas.
