Chocolate Applesauce Cupcakes
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 35 mins
- Total Time: 50 mins
- Yield: 24 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar (next time I would try to reduce this to 1/2 cup)
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups unsweetened applesauce
Instructions
- In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. (Interesting note – this step IS important in allowing these ingredients to foam up and add air to the cake, so that your cake isn’t too dense.
- Combine dry ingredients; add to the creamed mixture alternately with applesauce. For cupcakes, add liners to two muffin tins and divide accordingly for 20-24 cupcakes. For cake, pour into a greased 9x13in baking pan. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes for cupcakes, 30-35 minutes for cake or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
