APPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick salted butter, at room temperature, plus more for buttering the pan
1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer cookies, such as Nilla, crushed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 large apples such as Honey Crisp, peeled and cut into small dice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan and dust all sides with the crushed vanilla wafers; set aside. Sift the flour and baking powder together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Using a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the eggs on high speed until pale and very thick, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan and cook, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to prevent burning, until the butter browns and smells nutty, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Add 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar to the eggs. Add one-third of the flour mixture, then half of the butter, another third of the flour, the remaining butter and the rest of flour, mixing between additions. Whisk until just barely combined. Using a spatula, gently fold the batter until the ingredients are combined. It is very important not to over-whisk or over-fold the batter or it will lose volume. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the apples, cinnamon, lemon zest and remaining 2 teaspoons granulated sugar and pour on top of the batter. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips and bake until the cake is golden brown and springs back to the touch, 40 to 50 minutes. Release the pan when cooled and sprinkle the cake with confectioners' sugar.

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.

  • Make sure the butter is cold and cubed before creaming it with the sugar. This will help create a light and fluffy batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips gently. Overmixing can cause the chocolate chips to melt and lose their shape.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry and crumbly cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor.
  • Add a streusel topping for a crunchy texture.
  • Serve the cake warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Apple cake with chocolate chips is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet and slightly tart apples, and rich chocolate chips, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone.
