Chocolate Pear Spice Cake

By: Carlee

"This cake is moist and delicious especially when served warm with whipped cream. It is a very attractive cake. It looks and tastes as though you went to a lot of trouble, but it is really so easy and quick to throw together. Serve warm cake with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and a dollop of whipped topping."

1 1/3 cups applesauce
3 tablespoons molasses
1/2 cup butter, melted
