looks like a great simple recipe - I would put in apple sauce and leave out the coconut oil

Then it'll be a regular cake :shrug:
I kinda want to try the coconut oil (refined) but I don't want to use coconut oil o_O
I have a recipe for a bundt coffee cake that uses silken tofu, with walnut struesel in the middle I want to make this weekend
...or the chocolate peanut butter bundt PTree makes. Too many choices....

My favorite chocolate cake is the depression or wacky cake. It's my go to recipe. I like to add chocolate chips to the batter.

Ingredients

CHOCOLATE CAKE

  • ▢ 1 ½ cups (187 g) all-purpose flour
  • ▢ 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ▢ ¼ cup (29.5 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ▢ ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ▢ 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ▢ 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • ▢ ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • ▢ 1 cup (237 g) water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

CHOCOLATE CAKE

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Whisk to combine.
  • Add vanilla, vinegar, oil, and water to the dry ingredients and stir using a spatula or whisk until ingredients are fully combined.
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. When an inserted toothpick is removed with a few crumbs (not clean!) the cake is done.
 
How much apple sauce would you use in this recipe? I would love to make it but I want to avoid coconut oil if I can.

I would use the equivalent of the oil - so in this case a third of a cup - I buy those small applesauce kids cups which are about 1/2 cup and so that is what I often use.
