moms applesauce choc chip cake

Ok if you have never had this before you must make it right away. You will have a new favorite, plus this recipe makes a LOT of cake. You can make one in a rectangle cake pan for you and the rest of the batter in a smaller square pan for a friend. They will want the recipe so be ready. Go enjoy and make friends!

2 1/2c or 1-25oz jar of applesauce
3/4c butter
2c white sugar
3c flour
1/2tsp salt
4tsp baking soda
1tsp cinnamon
1/2tsp nutmeg
1/4tsp cloves (optional) I personally leave out the flavor is softer that way...
12oz chocolate chips

Heat oven 325F
grease two baking pans (I use the standard rectangle casserole size pan and a standard square brownie pan)
In a sauce pan heat applesauce sugar and butter. Remove from heat and cool COMPLETELY (or you will melt the choc chips)
Mix all the remaining ingredients in a bowl
Mix wet and dry ingredients
Pour in baking dishes
Bake for an hour

Make a simple frosting using powdered sugar melted butter and milk until perfect consistency
drizzle over cooled cakes

It sounds time consuming but it is SO worth the outcome!
