Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a tube or bundt pan with a non-fat cooking spray. Use mixer to blend Sweet'N Low and margarine on high speed until fluffy. Add egg whites, one at a time, and mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in banana puree, lemon peel, yogurt, vanilla, and rum on medium speed until smooth. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and lite salt together. Add gradually to batter with poppy seeds. Mix until smooth. Transfer batter to prepared pan and spread smooth with a spatula.
