Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

Before you cringe and say "ewww" you have to try this super easy, super moist, super delicious chocolate cake. My mother used to make it when I was a kid. It was her standard chocolate cake. Really, the mayo just replaces the eggs and oil in a normal cake recipe. Sorry I didn't take a pic of it sliced. It was gorgeous.

My favorite version (and what is pictured) is to split the two layers into four and use a yummy peanut butter cream cheese icing (8 oz cream cheese, 8 oz peanut butter and 2 lbs of confectioners sugar plenty left over for eating after it sits in the fridge for a day! It's like truffles).

**Ingredients **

makes 2 -9 inch round layers

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9 inch layer pans.
2. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa, and sugar into a large bowl. Stir in mayonnaise. Gradually add water and vanilla and blend until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pans.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Cool, remove from pans, and frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.
