Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake II

Loved it. The best chocolate cake ever.

This cake was nice, moist & had good flavor. My mom used to make this for us kids when we were growing up. She used a recipe similar to this one except she used the bakers squares & not the cocoa powder. Next time I make this cake I will use the bakers chocolate too because I felt like the texture was a little off due to using cocoa powder. Overall a good cake. Easy to make. I also baked for 22 minutes at 350 and was perfectly done.

I added chocolate chips which made it a little sweeter. It’s not as moist as I expected and I can taste the mayonnaise. It still tastes good and it’s very easy to make so I give it 4 stars.

My mother used to make this recipe and as kids we gobbled them up . I made these into cup cakes and sprinkled with powdered sugar. They were a complete hit with my family also. Light fluffy and so good. I added 1T more of chocolate and cold coffee instead of water.

Skipped the vanilla and 1 tsp baking powder and increased the baking soda to 1.5 teaspoons and added 1/2 teaspoons salt (to match a similar recipe). Also adapted a wonderful brown sugar icing to go with it: 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup margarine, less than 2 tablespoons of whipping cream, and slightly less than 1-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar. Decadent!

Easy to make and a great taste, especially with the idea of strawberries on top. I posted photo #10. I made two 5 inch layers, and had some left over for some cupcakes to freeze. Then I cut each horizontally. I used a cream cheese frosting and horizontally sliced fresh strawberries between each layer. It was DELICIOUS with that blend of flavors. By making smaller layers we had a tall elegant cake. The cake was great the next day, although the fresh fruit doesn't keep too long. THANKS, Cathy, for the recipe AND for the photo ideas.

this is the best cake i ever ate .I put nutella on top **************Stars
