Try canned squash
A suitable pumpkin substitute for eggs in baking recipes is pureed pumpkin or pumpkin puree. It can help bind ingredients together and add moisture, similar to eggs.
You can substitute the oil with applesauce. I know it sounds strange, but it works.
applesauce, applebutter, prunebutter, and pumpkin.
It's about half. So you would need about 6 cups of pureed pumpkin.
Oil can be substituted with something to keep it moist. This can be something like banana, potato, or eggs.
Some of the oil can be replaced by applesauce, but not all of it.
You can substitute butter with applesauce, pureed prunes, or apple butter. No joke! Yes, it sounds discusting, it probably is. don't ask me I've never tried it.
Yes, you can substitute applesauce for chopped bananas in a cake recipe, using the same amount—2 cups of applesauce should work well. Keep in mind that applesauce will make the cake moister and may alter the flavor slightly. Another great fruit substitute would be pureed pears, which can also add moisture and sweetness.
Pumpkin that is pureed, or blended smooth, maybe with a little salt.
I'm a huge fan of replacing oil with applesauce. If the recipe calls for 1/2 c. of oil, I use 1/2 c. applesauce as a healthy alternative. You will not taste apple regardless of the cake's flavor. If you don't keep applesauce in your home you can also use sour cream, or plain yogurt in the same way. Best of luck! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hmm!! leaving out the shortening will affect the texture of the cake, I will not say the above answer is wrong but try it on a small cake first.
