Grandma J's Bundt Cake

Okay...this isn't exactly a "healthy" recipe, but it's my favorite cake in the whole world, and it's VEGAN! Woo hoo!

1 can applesauce (16 oz.)
2 cups flour (I use 1 cup whole wheat flour & 1 cup all purpose flour)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup chocolate chips
2 tsp. baking soda
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Cream sugar and oil. Add flour, salt, and spices. Heat applesauce to a boil. Add baking soda and stir into hot applesauce. (Make sure the pan you boil the applesauce in is big enough so that when you add the soda it doesn't overflow!) Pour the hot applesauce mixture into the flour, sugar, and oil mixture. Stir together. Add the chocolate chips to the warm mixture. (They will melt). Grease and flour a bundt pan and pour the mixture into the pan and bake at 350F for 45 minutes. Let cool. Frost with (Vegan) cream cheese frosting: I use about 3 oz. non-dairy cream cheese, 4 cups powdered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla, a little salt (maybe 1/4 tsp.), and almond milk (a little at a time so it doesn't get too runny). If the cake is a little warm when you frost it (not hot), the frosting melts a little and sets up quite nicely. YUM!
