Sounds delicious! My mom used to make a chocolate applesauce cake, and I don't have the recipe. I'll try yours, Deborah!

Hi Rel. Thanks for posting my recipe here. As for substitutes, english walnuts would probably work well. It really is a tasty recipe. I like not having to ice it. 😉 Blessings to you & your readers!
