Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
Description
This Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake relies on mayonnaise to substitute for eggs and butter, contributing fat and moisture that yield a tender, moist crumb. The batter mixes all-purpose flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, water, and mayonnaise for a simple but effective chocolate cake. Baking the batter in a greased and floured 9x13 inch dish results in an even bake and a moist texture. The cocoa flavor stands out simply, uncompromised by additions like frosting or fillings.
The cake can be served on its own or with toppings such as powdered sugar or whipped cream if desired. Its straightforward ingredients and one-bowl method suit home cooks looking for a reliably moist chocolate cake without complicated steps.
