Here’s a recipe for Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake:
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
- Add the mayonnaise, water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until well combined and smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract, beating well after each addition.
- Beat the frosting until smooth and spreadable. If the frosting is too thick, add more milk, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
- Slice and serve the Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake. Enjoy!
