In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then fold them into the batter. Pour the batter into a greased 13x9-inch baking pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and a dash of salt, and beat until smooth. Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Optionally, serve with sliced bananas.
