This was a make-it-up-as-you-go cake that turned out delicious! It makes a fairly dense cake that would also make good squares or muffins.

This would be very easy to modify so that it was vegan. You could also add any fruit or nuts that you like. I just added raisins and blueberries because that's what I happened to have.

Enjoy!

With bananas, blueberries, peanut butter AND applesauce, I'd think you could just leave out the egg without necessarily even subbing something else.
