Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup all purpose flour
1 1/4 cup natural cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 large eggs
1 cup Mott's® Applesauce
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare a 9 inch round cake pan by either a) spraying it with a baking spray containing flour, b) buttering and flouring the pan, or c) buttering the pan and lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then stir thoroughly to combine. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, applesauce, sugar, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Then, while whisking continuously, drizzle in the melted butter.
  • Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until combined. Batter will be very thick. Scrape the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth out the top evenly.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter attached.
  • Cool in the pan on a rack for 15 minutes, then set the cake on a rack and let cool completely. Store airtight for freshness.

CHOCOLATE CHIP APPLESAUCE CAKE



Chocolate Chip Applesauce Cake image

At last, an easy-to-make "scratch" cake recipe that does not need frosting! Recipe has been modified from one given to me by a friend years ago... 6/30/07 NOTE: This is not a standard chocolate cake recipe nor a spice cake recipe. The cocoa and chocolate chips help add to the "dark chocolaty" flavor and appearance but the applesauce and spices give it a unique flavor addition, producing a dark, moist cake with a different flavor with the added bonus of being a no-frost cake.

Tips:

  • Use a ripe banana for a moist and flavorful cake: A ripe banana will add natural sweetness and moisture to the cake, reducing the need for additional sugar and oil.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to check if the cake is done: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
  • Use a variety of toppings to add flavor and texture: You can top the cake with anything from chocolate chips to nuts to fresh fruit.
