Hillbilly's Chocolate Applesauce Cake

"I found this on Hillbilly Housewife's website. It is very moist and tasty! It would taste good with a number of frostings, including a cream cheese frosting. I tried it with store-bought frosting, as well as just plain with icecream and/or hot fudge."

ingredients

  • 34 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine, melted
  • 1 12 - 2 cups sugar (I used 1.5C, and it's not super sweet. I think 2C would very good)
  • 2 medium eggs or 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 1/2 cup yogurt (I reconsitituted dried buttermilk) or 1/2 cup sour milk (I reconsitituted dried buttermilk)
  • 1 12 cups applesauce
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 13 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 12 cups flour

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and oil a 9x13 baking dish.
  • With a mixer or whisk, combine sugar and melted butter.
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract. Beat well until creamy.
  • Beat in applesauce and buttermilk/yogurt/sour milk.
  • Add salt, baking soda, cocoa, and flour. I sifted all of the dried ingredients onto parchment paper, then added it slowly to my mixer while it was stirring. This helped inhibit clumps from forming. Otherwise, mix it for a couple of minutes to make it smooth (200 strokes if mixing it by hand).
  • Pour batter into oiled baking dish. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool before spreading icing on top.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Well, I am a new stay-at-home mama (our son, Jack, was born on June 1, 2006). :) To prepare for his arrival, I cooked and froze enough food for 6 weeks. So, my new passion is OAMC, which I will try to continue at least on a small scale. It's just too hard to prepare dinner every day with an infant in my arms! I hardly use any cookbooks besides recipezaar and www.hillbillyhousewife.com (she has yummy frugal recipes that we love).
