Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 tablespoon peppermint extract ( I actually prefer it with 2 tsp, so you may want to start there)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 F.
Spray a 10 inch bundt pan with cooking oil and set aside.
Sift together flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, cornstarch, sugar, and salt in large bowl; whisk together well.
Whisk together applesauce, oil, vanilla, and peppermint extract by hand in medium bowl.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry with a few swift strokes just until blended.
Pour into bundt pan.
Bake 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool on rack.
