Chocolate Zuchinni Cake...easy version

Chocolate Zucchini Cake

2 eggs
1 ¾ c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
½ c. milk
½ c. oil
½ c. applesauce
2 ½ c. flour
1/4 c. cocoa
1 t. soda
½ t. cinnamon
½ t. baking powder
½ t. salt
2 c. grated zucchini (It usually takes about 1 large zucchini. I wash it, cut it and grate it in my food processor with the skin on. I also drain off most of the water from the zucchini once it’s grated.)
Mix the eggs and sugar together until smooth. Add all wet ingredients then add all dry ingredients. Then add the grated zucchini and mix well.
Pour mixture into greased baking dish.
Sprinkle these next three ingredients on top before you bake the cake. 
1 c. milk chocolate chips
½ c. brown sugar
½ c. nuts (if desired)
Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes (may take a little longer, depending on your oven).
