This rich, supremely chocolatey, moist pound cake is so simple and yet so impressive, especially when frosted with my Salted Caramel Frosting, which perfectly complements the dense sweetness of the cake. If you have any leftovers, don't refrigerate, just leave tightly covered at room temperature.

2/3 c water
1/2 c canola oil, or vegetable oil
1/2 c unsweetened applesauce
8 oz light sour cream

2. Stir in sour cream, beat in eggs. Stir in chocolate chunks. Pour batter into pan and even it out with a spatula. Bake 1 hr, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. In my oven, it ook 50 mins.
3. Take cake out of oven and let cool 10 mins. In a small microwave bowl, melt butter with chocolate chips until just melted. Drizzle over cake. I sometimes like to decorate the cake with thin slices of fresh strawberries. I didn't have any available at the time I made this.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste.
Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake in a greased and floured pan. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
