Number Of Ingredients 16

2 c all purpose flour
1 c cocoa powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 c cranberry jelly (home made is better)
2 apples, granny smith peeled and grated
1 3/4 c sugar
1 c milk
CHOCOLATE GLAZE
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c heavy whipping cream
2 Tbsp light corn syrup

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 f and spray your cake pan. In a large bowl combine milk, eggs, vanilla, oil, and sugar. With a spoon or a mixer mix until well combined. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Add in grated apples and cranberry jelly. Mix until well combined.
2. Pour batter into prepared pan any cake pan is good. Put in oven and bake for 50-55 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. While cake is in oven in a microwave safe bowl add cream, chocolate chips and corn syrup. Microwave on high for 1 minute stir until silky smooth.
3. When cake is done cool in pan for 15 minutes and then turn it over in a cake plate or regular plate. Let cool for at least 1 hour after that pour sauce over the top and enjoy. It is even better the next day. You can warm it up and put a scoop of ice cream on top. This cake is super delicious and easy to make. If you do use canned jelly I suggest you use some dried cranberries as well in the batter. You can also add nuts if you would like to.
