Makeover Spiced Cocoa-Apple Cake

• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 1-2/3 cups sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 large egg whites
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup baking cocoa
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 2 cups grated peeled tart apples
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
• 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 teaspoon confectioners' sugar

1. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, then egg whites, beating well after each addition. Beat in the buttermilk, applesauce and vanilla (mixture will appear curdled).
2. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and allspice; stir into butter mixture just until blended. Stir in the apples, walnuts and chips.
3. Transfer to a 10-in. fluted tube pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325u0b0 for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
