Ingredients

Cooking spray
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
2 large eggs lightly beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Powdered sugar for dusting optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray (see note above about alternate pan options).
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and cloves. Whisk in the applesauce, eggs, oil, melted butter, and vanilla. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden pick comes out coated with moist crumbs.
Transfer the pan to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto the rack and cool completely, about/at least 20 minutes.
Sift the powdered sugar over the cake (if using). Slice and serve!
