Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
- Stir hot water and cocoa powder together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Using an electric hand or stand mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl on high speed until thick and very light yellow in color; about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the mayonnaise, and beat on medium speed until combined.
- Add the cocoa mixture, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix in until combined. The mixture will look thick and fudgy.
- Add the buttermilk, and mix on low speed just until it's incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan until it reaches room temperature.
- Frost with desired frosting.
Notes
- Hot water: Hot coffee can also be used in place of the hot water.
Mayonnaise: I've used both lighter (olive oil) mayonnaise and full-fat mayonnaise in this cake. Both have worked equally well.
I like to use real mayonnaise, not Miracle Whip, as Miracle Whip has a stronger flavor.
