 Chocolate-Mayonnaise Cake
I know it sounds like slop but this is not a joke it is a really delicious cake; try it an see. It produces a light, extremely moist, and rich cake, with a hint of walnut flavor. I'm not quite sure how that happens, but it does. Here's the list of ingredients and techniques.
Chocolate-Mayonaise Cake
Dry Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. baking soda (bicarbonate of soda)
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder (Clabber Girl or Calumet brand)
Wet Ingredients:
1 cup mayonaise
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup water
Preheat oven to 350' F.
Whisk to gether the dry ingredients in a large glass or stainless steel bowl. Mix the vanilla extract with the water. Add the water mixture and mayonaise to the dry ingredients and whisk with a balloon whisk until all is smooth. Pour into a greased and floured 10" cake pan or a 9"X16" rectangular cake pan and bake for 30 minutes. Test by inserting either a clean butter knife or toothpick into the cake center. If it comes out clean, remove from the oven and cool as it is done. If it needs more cooking, increase the time by 10 minute intervals until the cake is done.
This is a wonderful cake to serve with a white-chocolate frosting, or a milk-chocolate frosting as the cake is very rich and chocolatey. Enjoy. Also I would be happy to hear your favorite cake recipes.
