I just recently found out that (in some cakes) bananes actually can eb eggs. Pretty cool!

Yes, basically in any cake that doesn't have "Egg" in the name :)

Wouldn't work in my chocolate cake. Or can you tell me how to separate bananas and beat them until stiff and white?

That's what I'm currently doing to my own banana. I didn't even have to separate it.

Apple Sauce is a great substitute too! About 60g / ¼ cup per egg. It works especially well in cakes that are already pretty moist, like brownies.

Yes, if the egg is used to deliver wetness. Not when it is used to deliver binding.

I currently having a horrible picture running through my head of an attempt to make my chocolate cake with bananas instead of eggs...
