Method

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Take a bowl and add flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in it and sift together.

2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl, until it gets light and fluffy, using an electric mixer set on a medium speed. Beat in the eggs one by one and blend in the vanilla extract. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the apple sauce.

3. Then pour the batter into a baking pan and sprinkle with the chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. For about 35 minutes, bake it at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
