Cocoa-Banana Cake

• Cake:
• 2/3 cup fat-free fruit puree (such as Sunsweet Lighter Bake)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
• 1/4 teaspoon banana extract
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 6 large egg whites
• Cooking spray
• Icing:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons fat-free milk
• 1/8 teaspoon banana extract (optional)
• 1 (8-ounce) container frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed
• 1 cup sliced banana
• 1/8 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
2. To prepare cake, combine the first 7 ingredients; stir well with a whisk. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, and next 4 ingredients (1 cup granulated sugar through salt) in a large bowl. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until blended.
3. Beat egg whites with a mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold the beaten egg whites into batter; pour batter into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray.
4. Bake at 350u0b0 for 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
5. To prepare the icing, combine powdered sugar, fat-free milk, and 1/8 teaspoon banana extract (if desired). Fold in the whipped topping. Spread icing over cake; cover and chill at least 1 hour. Top with banana slices, and sprinkle with cocoa, if desired.
