This is a great way to use ripe bananas. The cake was enjoyed by all at a family gathering where there was enough cake for everyone.

This cake did not rise and was gummy. I think that too much of the oil was replaced by applesauce, and the texture suffered greatly. The other hummingbird cake on the site also has 3 cups flour, but it has 1 1/2 cups of oil, compared to only 1/3 cup. Replacing approximately 3/4 of the oil in a standard recipe is just too much. I would not make this again.
