Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

Yes, mayonnaise! Who knew? I served this cake at a party. It was super moist and really good. This recipe was included in a magazine ad for Best Foods Real Mayonnaise.

Serves: 12
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
3 eggs
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/3 cups water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round cake pans; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and baking powder; set aside.

In a large bowl, with electric mixer at high speed, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in mayonnaise at low speed until blended. Alternately beat in flour mixture with water, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Pour into prepared pans.

Bake 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean. On wire racks, cool 10 minutes; remove from pans and cool completely. Frost, if desired, or sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
