Chocolate chip applesauce cake

Ingredients
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. oil
2 eggs
2 c. chunky applesauce
2 c. flour
1/2 c. nuts (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. cocoa
4 tbsp. brown sugar
1 1/2 cups chopped dark chocolate into chips

1. Cream sugar, oil, and eggs.
2. Add applesauce, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cocoa.
3. Pour into greased 13 x 9 inch pan.
4. Sprinkle brown sugar, nuts and 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
5. Bake at 180 celsuis for 40 to 45 minutes.
6. Immediately after taking cake out of oven, sprinkle with the rest
of the chocolate chips.



Notes: I found this quite sweet so next time I would exclude the brown sugar and just use 1/2 cup of chocolate chips).

Another option is to melt 1/2 cup of chocolate and add in with step  2 and ignore step 4.
