Chocolate Chip Applesauce Cake - Super Moist!
"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."

A very nice snack cake. I took your suggestion and used 1/4 cup oil and 2 1/4 cups of applesauce. I'm sure it made it just a little 'gummier' but it was worth the reduction in calories for me. The cake has a lovely light chocolate, apples & cinnamon flavor. So people felt it should be more chocolaty, but I think that's because they were expecting chocolate cake because of the color. Once I explained it was an applesauce cake, opinions of it went up. I dusted the top with just a little bit of confectioner's sugar to give it a more 'finished' look. A perfect fall dessert! Thanks for sharing! -

It has taken me a long time to update this page, but this website has been one that I go to every single day (okay, maybe every other day, but you get the idea), so I finally decided I should share a little about myself and my family.
I am a Registered Nurse part-time and a full-time mother of two beautiful daughters. My husband I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary this year. Being with my family is a great joy to me and cooking for them is a pleasure! I love to try new foods and I am fortunate that so does everyone else in the family (well, except the 5 year old who is "picky" - but at least occasionally starting to try new foods!). RecipeZaar helps me explore new food and has given me many yummy "repeat" recipes that have become "standard" in our home.
Thanks to everyone who posts, reviews and shares tips on this website. Thanks, too, to those who maintain RecipeZaar's website - all your hard work and attention to detail are what set this site way above any other recipe site. It is great to have a "world wide cookbook" at my fingertips!!
