Passover Chocolate Banana Cake

6 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
1 cup mashed ripe banana(2 to 3 medium)
1/2 cup sliced almonds
2/3 cup plus 1/4 cup granulated sugar - divided use

1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.
2. Beat egg yolks with 2/3 cup sugar in medium bowl until thick and light in color.
3. Combine potato starch and cocoa; gradually add to egg mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in bananas.
4. Beat egg whites in large bowl until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Stir about 1/2 cup beaten whites into cocoa mixture. Gently fold cocoa mixture into remaining egg white mixture, blending well. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle almonds over top.
