Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add butter, water, and cocoa to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Cook for about 2-2½ minutes, whisking 30 seconds at a time until melted and smooth. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine eggs, yogurt and applesauce and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together. Add warm chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Add the yogurt mixture and stir again until combined. The batter maybe a little lumpy, but that is fine.
Pour into an ungreased jelly roll pan (13x18) or two 9x13 baking sheets. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Fosting:
Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add cocoa and whisk until smooth. Whisk in milk and vanilla and then whisk in the powdered sugar. Pour over the cake and frost to the edges.
Let cake cool completely and allow frosting to set.
