How to Make Chocolate Applesauce Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x12 inch baking pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup unsweetened applesauce until evenly distributed.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or nuts of your choice).
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
