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
- 0 optional powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir until all components are smoothly blended, but do not overmix.
Step 4
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 8
If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
Step 9
Serve the cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
