Anya's apple chocolate cinnamon cake
My daughter and I thought this up when we wanted to make a chocolate cake but had apples to use up. It turned out to be a very yummy chocolate cake which is moist because of the grated apple and gooey because of the chocolate chips!

superb cake,,really moist and chocolatey. plenty of flavour and also keeps well - 28 Feb 2014
Absolutely delicious. May add a little more apple next time. Topped it with toffee icing as it was for a work colleague's birthday, everyone loved it. Was a little dubious not to be using self raising flour but it baked beautifully. Shall be making another very soon. - 11 Sep 2017
