Super moist, easy and doesn't need icing. I've had many people request this recipe and have had it described as "the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten." To make this healthier, I change the applesauce amount to 2 1/4 c. and use only 1/4 c. of oil.

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.

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Whenever possible, use room temperature ingredients. This will help them blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Together: This step is essential for creating a light and fluffy cake. Make sure you cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.
