DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine the flours, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, and
salt, if desired, and stir to mix well. Add the banana,
buttermilk, egg whites,and vanilla extract, and stir
to mix well.

2. Coat a 9 x 13" pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake at 350 deg F
for about 35 min., or just until a wooden toothpick
inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool the cake to room temp.

3. To make the glaze, combine the glaze ingredients in
a small bowl. If using a microwave oven, microwave the
glaze, uncovered, at high power for 35 seconds, or
until runny.  If using a conventional stove top,
transfer the glaze to a small saucepan and place over
medium heat for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Drizzle the glaze over the cake, and let harden before
cutting into squares and serving.

This is quick and really excellent tasting.
