Beat butter, salt, applesauce and sugar until fluffy. Separate the eggs; add yolks to the mixture and beat into a creamy consistency. Mix flour, baking powder, cocoa and chocolate together. Add this dry mix to the egg mixture and fold in gently. Gradually pour in milk until a smooth batter forms; if the batter is too dry, add more milk. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and fold them carefully into the batter.
