Chocolate Applesauce Cake




Source of Recipe


Sunday Dinner


List of Ingredients




- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1-1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 4 eggs
- 1-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1-1/2 cups applesauce


Recipe



Grease a 9-inch springform pan and dust with the graham cracker
crumbs.

Place the chocolate in a small ovenproof bowl and place in the oven.
Turn the oven thermostat to 350 degrees F. and remove the chocolate
after 10 minutes to finish melting in the hot bowl.

Cream the sugar and butter until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at
a time; beat until combined. Beat in the chocolate. Sift together
the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.

Stir approximately 1/2 cup of the flour mixture and 1/2 cup of
the applesauce into the butter mixture. Continue to combine the
ingredients until all have been mixed into the batter.

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 10
minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. The cake
will shrink. Use a knife to loosen the cake before releasing
the spring and lifting the sides from the bottom of the pan.
Cool completely before serving.
