CHOCOLATE CHIP APPLESAUCE CAKE
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:
- Choose ripe applesauce: Using ripe applesauce will give your cake a more intense apple flavor. If you don't have ripe applesauce on hand, you can make your own by simmering peeled and cored apples with a little water and sugar until softened.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is done baking.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Serve the cake with your favorite frosting or glaze: This cake is delicious with a simple vanilla frosting, but you can also get creative and try different flavors, such as chocolate, cream cheese, or maple.
Conclusion:
This chocolate chip applesauce cake is a moist and delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you enjoy it plain or with your favorite frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit.
