From Deb. I subbed 2 eggs and a cup of water for the cup of oil, an alternative to applesauce or melted butter. I didn't have 8" pans which I have no discovered is pretty critical as 6-7" Pyrex dishes are not as well suited. The cake turned out a bit sponge-y, firm skins, and not as moist as I would have liked. I was a little short on the peanut butter but the frosting turned out well enough.

Mexican Monkey Cake.
Sourced from Farmgirl. I was actually little disappointed by this recipe. I was expecting something more like monkey bread, but it's basically just a banana walnut bread with way too much chocolate and sugar. Oh, and the "Mexican" is just the addition of some cinnamon.

Orange and Vanilla Yogurt Cake.
Had the idea since I had some vanilla yogurt that was past its best-by date but still sealed and some oranges. I mixed recipes sourced from two new blogs, here and here. I ended using one stick of butter and two full eggs to two cups of flour, only a cup of sugar, a cup or so of vanilla yogurt, and only one orange. In retrospect, I would have used the zest of two oranges. Bake time was probably closer to 45 or 50 minutes.
I tried to do something with the chocolate chips but it didn't pan out.
