Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups brown sugar ( I use less about 1 1/4 cups)

2 eggs, separated ( place yolks in small bowl, in larger bowl beat egg whites to stiff peaks)
1 cup mashed bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour

In small bowl prepare streusel topping by combining sugar and flour, cut in butter and set aside.
In bowl, measure flour, baking powder and salt; whisk to mix and set aside.
Separate eggs, yolks in small bowl, whites beaten to stiff peaks in a larger bowl; set aside.
Cream together butter and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy, add egg yolks and vanilla extract mixing to blend.
