Instructions: Spray 8 x 8 pan w/ Pam. In medium bowl, sift together cocoa, flour, baking powder & salt. (measure ingredients before sifting) In large bowl, mix oil & sugar. Wisk in egg, applesauce & vanilla. Combine flour mixture w/ egg mixture. Add nuts. Bake 35-40 minutes @350!

In place of the oil I usually use equal an amount of peanut butter w/ a little kahlua heated in the microwave and then add the sugar.

These are so incredibly chocolatey and rich that you wont need icing.
