Apple Sauce makes everything that I bake so much more moist and it makes me feel good that I haven’t had to add any oil. This cake is such a healthier version than a store bought cake and it’s almost just as easy.
Homemade Applesauce Chocolate Cake
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
In a medium size bowl, beat brown sugars, milk, eggs, and applesauce until well mixed. Slowly beat the dry mixture into the wet mixture until blended.
Spread mixture evenly into pan.
Bake for 23-25 minutes until edges are brown and toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
We sprinkled ours with some powdered sugar.
Enjoy this not so sinful chocolate dessert!
