"This recipe was given to me years ago," writes Wendy Keys from Reno, Nevada. "I love it and used to make it often, but haven't done so in a while because of its high fat and calorie count. Can you help?" Our Test Kitchen lightened up her original recipe for this healthier version that tastes even more delicious than the original. How sweet is that?

Provided by kmaugh

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 eggs
1 cup margarine
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking power
1 tsp allspice
1/2 cup chocolate bits
2 cups sugar
1/2 cups water
2 Tbsp cocoa
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup finely chopped nuts
1 tsp vanilla
2 apples, cored and grated or finely chopped (2 cups)

Steps:

  • Beat together eggs, sugar, margarine and water until fluffy. Sift together flour, cocoa, cinnamon and allspice. Add to creamed mixture and mix well. Fold in chocolate bits, nuts, apples and vanilla until evenly distributed. Spoon into greased and floured loose bottom 10-inch cake pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until cake tests done.

Tips:

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To make sure your cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

This cocoa apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The moist chocolate cake is studded with sweet apples and topped with a creamy chocolate frosting. It is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
