Dutch Supper Cake

Lately, I have been missing the things I used to love to do back in the days when I was a housewife. It struck me that just because I am single and live alone, that shouldn't keep me from doing the things I love. Baking was one of my favorite things, so yesterday I made this cake, a family favorite, easy to make and not too sweet and not to big for someone who lives alone.



Dutch Supper Cake
Heat oven to 350F. Spray bottom only of an 8x8" square pan with Pam.
In a bowl, combine:
1 c flour
1 c sugar
1/2 c chopped nuts (I like almonds or hazelnuts)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda
2 oz (2 squares) melted baking chocolate (I used semi-sweet, but you may use unsweetened for a richer chocolate flavor)
1/3 c oil (I use canola)
2/3 c applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs.
Stir by hand until all ingredients are mixed well.
Pour into prepared pan.
Bake at 350F for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Sprinkle top with sifted powdered sugar.
