Description

This cake is moist and delicious especially when served warm with whipped cream. It is a very attractive cake. It looks and tastes as though you went to a lot of trouble, but it is really so easy and quick to throw together. Serve warm cake with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped topping.

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 ⅓ cups applesauce
3 tablespoons molasses
½ cup butter, melted
1 (18.5 ounce) package yellow cake mix
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon finely shredded orange peel
1 small Bosc pear, peeled and thinly sliced
½ cup pecans, chopped
1 (2.6 ounce) bar milk chocolate, coarsely chopped

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch springform pan.
2. Use an electric mixer to beat the eggs, applesauce, molasses, and butter in a large bowl. Beat in the cake mix along with the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and orange peel. Mix on medium speed for 4 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pan. Top the unbaked cake with pear slices; sprinkle evenly with the pecans and chopped chocolate.
3. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 55 to 60 minutes. Cool for 25 minutes before removing from pan.
