Author: Barbara Schieving

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ cups applesauce
  • teaspoon red gel food coloring optional
  • 1 ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray two medium (9 x 5) loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray, or four/five mini loaf pans (5 ¾ x 3 ¼ x 2 ¼.)
  • In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy, about two minutes. Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and applesauce and mix until well combined. Add the dry ingredients stirring until just combined.
  • Coat the chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons flour and stir into batter. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Don't fill more than ⅔ full. Bake side-by-side for about one hour or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. (Bake 35-40 minutes for the mini loaves.)
