1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
1 (6 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups chocolate syrup
1 1/2 cups applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Heat oven to 325 degrees F.

Cream butter and sugar well. Add eggs 1 at a time. Beat until light and fluffy. Melt the chocolate morsels with the syrup in a double boiler. Add to the butter and egg mixture. Add remaining ingredients, and blend well. Pour batter into a well-greased 10-inch Bundt pan or a 10-inch round pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Cool well before turning out of pan.

This cake is very moist and requires no frosting, but it is delicious with whipped cream.
