    My mom used to make this for us kids back in the early 1970's. It was a recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens 1960's edition cookbook called "Wacky Cake." Was almost as good as her chocolate mayonnaise cake!

    If you bake it as 12 cupcakes, they're just 136 cals each, for a good size cupcake. I've made little tiny cupcakes out of it, very good too. And not a banana in sight!
