I'd like to substitute applesauce in place of 2c chopped bananas in a cake recipe Will that work and would I use the same amount Also is there another fruit I could use?

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.
