Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- optional powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and lightly flour it, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Add the applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until all components are smoothly blended, but do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Avoid overbaking to keep the cake moist.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
Serve the cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
