Triple Fudge Cake
Barb Warnell

1/3 Cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 Cup Chocolate Chips
1 Pkg Berry Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix With Pudding
1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Cup Applesauce
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Pecans Chopped 

Heat oven to 350°.  Grease bottom of  13x9" pan; lightly flour. 
Microwave milk and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips in a small bowl, uncovered on medium about 1 minute or until chocolate is softened, stir until smooth and set aside.  Beat cake mix and oil in a large bowl on low speed for 30 seconds (mixture will be crumbly); reserve 1 cup.  Beat applesauce and eggs into remaining cake mixture on low speed 30 seconds (batter will be thick and grainy); beat on medium speed 2 minutes.  Spread in pan.  Drop melted chocolate mixture by teaspoonfuls over batter, dropping more around edge than in center.  Stir remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips and the pecans into reserved cake mixture; sprinkle over batter.  Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until center is set.  Run a knife around side of pan to loosen cake.  Cool completely; about 2 hours.  Serve at room temperature.  No change for high altitude.
