Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

It’s time to unleash all the fun in the kitchen! This cake is simple to make and will make you the star of every dessert table. Just look at this beauty!

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup warm water

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. We don’t want our cake sticking around, right?
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the mayonnaise, vanilla extract, and warm water until smooth. Yes, I said mayonnaise—trust the process!
Combine the wet and dry ingredients by adding the mayonnaise mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until you have a smooth batter. Don’t overmix!
Pour the batter into your greased pan. Spread it evenly, then give it a little shimmy-shake for good luck!
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell like heaven!
Once done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Can you resist a taste while it’s warm? Let’s be real, probably not.
Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting (or don’t—it’s delicious on its own) and enjoy this scratch-made wonder!

There you have it! A Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake that’s deliciously moist and simply irresistible. So, roll up your sleeves and get baking. Embarrassment is just a whisk away if someone asks, “Is there mayonnaise in that cake?” Be ready to serve the laughs and the slices!
