In another bowl, mix sugar, unsweetened applesauce, plant-based milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Fold in chocolate chips gently to avoid overmixing.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

For a glaze, mix powdered sugar with water until desired consistency and drizzle over the cooled cake.

Slice and serve the cake once fully cooled.
