Jeff: "I just call it my Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake, because that really describes the texture of it. I know mayonnaise based cakes are nothing new, but since I've been offering this one, it has become very popular...it is very moist, chocoately and, above all.... VERY EASY to make!"
Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and line two 8” layer pans with parchment. Grease and flour bottom of pan...do not grease sides.
In a mixer bowl, sift together until well blended:
2 c all purpose flour
2/3 c cocoa (not Dutch)
1 2/3 c sugar
1 1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t baking powder
Add 1/3 c room temperature water
3 large eggs
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp vanilla
Mix on low to combine, then mix at medium for two minutes
Stir in an additional 1 cup of room temperature water and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Pour into pans and bake until a tester comes out clean.
*The only change I make, is to mix the wet ingredients for almost a minute then add dry ingredients. I've made this cake twice and wanted to post it here for safe keeping!
