Ingredients
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 8-ounce can crushed pineapple (juice pack), drained
1/2 cup cooking oil
4 eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup chopped bananas
1 cup chunky-style applesauce
2/3 cup toasted, chopped walnuts

ROFL, that's too funny. Most of my cakes are straight from a Betty Crocker box but every so often (and when I have a lot of free time), I will sit down, open up my cookbook (well, stuff I've copied, pasted, and printed from the internet) and decide to just give it the good 'ol college try. Sometime it's a hit, sometimes it's a miss but I have fun while trying.

I agree... "fun" is what its all about... I honestly love to have fun... and life is too short to be so serious... stress can kill u....
But... if u really wanna bake a good cake..... put Betty back in the Box... and Call Tokens....rofl
