Leftover Chocolate/Jam Cake

Had some leftover homemade cranberry compote/jam and some apple sauce. Thought I would use it to make a chocolate cake. Used a compilation of some cake recipes. It turned out very well! The cake is moist and very "chocolatery". You can sub the cranberrycompote for any jam you like.
