A yummy, moist chocolate cake with chocolate chips in it.
Cream together 1 1/2 cups sugar, shortening, and eggs. Sift in flour, salt, cocoa, soda, and cinnamon. Add the applesauce and stir together.
Grease and flour a 9×13 pan. Pour batter into the pan. Sprinkle the batter with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and chocolate chips.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 350F.
Mix approximately 1 cup powdered sugar and 1/4 cup water to make a very soupy glaze. Glaze the cake when it is done and still hot.

The cake was very moist and had an interesting flavor combination with the chocolate and applesauce together. I followed the instructions as above but I would wait for the cake to cool slightly before glazing it – the glaze just sorta melted and ran off the top to the sides.

Love it! I actually cut the sugar down to about a cup, and I did not add the glaze as the cake was plenty sweet and delicious! Will definitely make this again as it’s pleasing to the palette and easy to make!
