I can help with your carrot cake request. I haven't tried this myself, but the photo that goes with the recipe makes it look good.

In a large bowl, cream together margarine or butter and sugar till smooth; add eggs and vanilla and beat well (mixture may look curdled). Add mashed banana, carrots, raisins, pineapple and yogurt; stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Add to the carrot mixture; stir till just combined. Pour into a vegetable oil-sprayed 9" (3L) bundt pan, and bake at 350°F for 40 to 45 minutes or till cake tester inserted into center comes out clean.
