Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 2-(8 inch) round cake pans with cooking spray; line bottoms with wax paper. Coat wax paper with cooking spray. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small mixing bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Place granulated sugar, oil, vanilla extract, egg whites, and egg in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add mashed banana; beat well. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to sugar mixture, begining and ending with flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake for 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on wire racks; remove from pans. Peel off wax paper; cool completely on wire racks. To prepare frosting: place cream cheese and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Add powdered sugar; beat at low speed until smooth. Place 1 cake layer on a plate; spread with 1/2 cup icing, and top with other cake layer. Spread remaining icing over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle pecans and coconut or/& chocolate curls over top of cake; all of these are optional. Cake is lovely as is! Store cake loosley covered in refrigerator. Enjoy, you have earned it.
