Instructions
Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer for approximately 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add mayonnaise to the mixture and beat on low for approximately 1 minute.
- Add flour mixture to the sugar mixture, in three additions, alternating with adding the water, stirring well between each addition. Pour into prepared baking pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
- Cool completely prior to frosting.
Chocolate Frosting
- Combine melted butter and cocoa and mix until butter and cocoa have combined. This may take a bit of stirring as cocoa powder sometimes doesn't combine with liquids easily.
- Next, using an electric mixer, alternately add powdered sugar and cream, beating until light and fluffy. Add in vanilla and mix well.
- Add an extra teaspoon of cream if a thinner consistency is desired. If frosting seems too thin, add additional powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. Spread onto cooled cake.

Notes
- Nutrition info is for cake only, as frosting is optional. For nutritional information for the frosting, visit the Chocolate Frosting Recipe page.
- The frosting recipe can be doubled if a thick coating of frosting is desired. As written it will provide a thin layer of frosting.
- Storage – This chocolate mayonnaise cake can be stored covered, at room temperature, for approximately five days. If you are saving it any longer than that, I highly recommend freezing it.
