Cocoa-Applesauce Cake

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

2 cups thick applesauce
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
substitute for 2 eggs
3 tablespoon cocoa
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Topping: 2 tablespoon sugar & 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions:

Mix dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients. Mix lightly. Put into a lined or sprayed 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with topping. Bake about 40 minutes at 350, till a toothpick inserted at the center comes out dry. Freezes well.

I JUST stuck this in the oven so well see how it turns out. I had to use mashed Garbanzo beans intead of egg substitute cause I didn't have any. I can't wait to taste a piece! It smells REALLY good though.

This tastes really good! BUT! It was VERY dense for me. Maybe due to no egg substitute....and I had to use those beans. But nonetheless, I like it all the same. THank you for the recipe.

This was wonderful. My family, who rarely have anything other than dairy icecream cake, loved this. I used flax and water as an egg replacement, and it worked just fine. Will definitely make these again.

I made this cake and took half of it with me while flying, and thank goodness I took it because it was the only thing of substance I could eat at hours of layover at the Minneapolis airport. Its best with the sugar icing.

I just made this and it looks SCRUMPTIOUS!
I used flax eggs as an egg replacer, didn't have enough applesauce to make 2 cups, so I replaced it with a ripe banana, which I mashed. I used whole wheat flour, and showed my true glutton colors by adding a small handful of chocolate chips.
I forgot to add the sugar/cinnamon topping before baking, so I just waited for the cake to cool down a bit when it came out of the oven, and used a sifter to sprinkle it with powdered sugar.

I made this last night with Ener-G Egg Replacer. It was delicious--the best vegan cake
recipe that I've found. I think it will be even better if I add some chopped apple next time.

Good cake! Mine I messed up a bit cause I put 3 tsp instead of 3 tbsp of cocoa, so I made a chocolate icing and put it on top. As well, I put slivered almonds in the batter. Came out well in the end. Odd texture though, it was like rubbery and moist at the same time.

And I'll assume in the directions, you mean to sprinkle it with topping after you cook it, not before.

Really good! I halved the recipe and used half whole wheat flour and half regular and the cake was still very light. This is good served warm with fresh strawberries.

I added an extra tblsp. of cocoa, I don't think it needed it though.
I also put in chopped pecans, slices of apple and a tsp of vanilla extract because I put some in everything.

The whole cake is about 2000 cals
So each slice is about 100 cals.
