Applesauce for sugar. You can substitute unsweetened applesauce for sugar in a 1:1 ratio in recipes, but you must reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe. Typically, reducing the liquid (milk, water, etc) by 1/4 cup will do the trick. If there is no added liquid, no need to adjust.
So go backwards.
1 to 1.
But if using applesauce means using less liquid, then not using applesauce should mean you need more liquid.

LL ~ Typically, you use applesauce in place of oil in cake recipes.
Usually 1:1

So, which would be better as an oil in a cake - oil or butter?
Czech - I'm allergic to apples.
So that is why I assumed you were asking, but can't you eat cooked apples?
No, not really. I have, on occasion, tried to sneak one or two hot cinnamon apples, and my body reacts very angrily. But applesauce? Nope - no way, no how. Hives, swollen itchy tongue. Nope.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
I started to say I use banana a lot in place of oil.
What about coconut oil?

I don't know about chocolate cake, but it made coconut cake amazing.

Sorry I forgot you are allergic to apples. Now I feel bad for you.
For an experiment I would try cranberry sauce as a substitute. Might be great, might be awful, but fun to find out.

I usually go the opposite way and sub applesauce for veg oil in cakes or muffins. The taste is the same (especially for a cake like you describe). You can swap out the applesauce 1:1 for vegetable oil. Nobody will know. In a double chocolate banana cake, nobody will taste applesauce. You could also swap out your eggs for an extra banana. In baking, it's just important that you know what the ingredient is doing, rather than the taste it will impart.
