"Grandma was about the best baker I've ever known. This is the cake she brought to every picnic or family reunion. It can't be beat."

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Whisk flour, white sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cloves together in a bowl. Beat eggs and vegetable oil in a separate large bowl until creamy; mix applesauce into egg mixture. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; stir until batter is smooth. Fold 1/2 cup walnuts and raisins into batter. Pour into prepared baking pan.
Mix brown sugar, 1 cup walnuts, and chocolate chips together in a bowl; spread over the cake.
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
