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.
NO NO NO NO NO applesauce is not a freakin fruit its a sauce get it right idiots.
No, you wouldn't end up with the same taste at all. How about applesauce, or do you have another fruit juice in your pantry?
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.
Applesauce can be substituted for shortening in some cookie recipes, although the resulting cookies will be noticeably different from those made with shortening. Applesauce should not be used in shortbread-type cookies.
