   1      package       semisweet chocolate chips -- 6 oz
   1 1/2  cups          cholcolate syrup
   1 1/2  cups          applesauce
   1      teaspoon      vanilla
   1      teaspoon      almond extract -- pure
     1/2  teaspoon      baking soda
     1/2  teaspoon      salt

Preheat oven to 325^.  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 toothpick 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.
