MAYONNAISE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING



Mayonnaise Cake With Chocolate Frosting image

This is my father-in-law's mother's cake recipe from Oklahoma, and I'm posting it for safe keeping. Word (word in our family, that is) has it that no one made a mayonnaise cake like she did. She would always send one back with my husband's family when they made a trip out to Oklahoma to visit from Colorado. The frosting she put on it was boiled sugar frosting, and my father-in-law's father apparently liked frosting so much it was like, "How about a little cake with your frosting?" That's what I've heard anyway. ;) I've tried to make the boiled sugar frosting a couple times, but it doesn't come out right (maybe it's the Colorado altitude, maybe it's my cooking skills, maybe it was a grandma thing [she did have 50 years of making it behind her]. Who knows.), but my husband - the grandchild that loves mayonnaise cake the most out of all of them, so much so that we were gifted the "mayonnaise cake pan" upon the grandmother's passing - likes it just as much with this chocolate frosting. The frosting recipe is adapted from Hershey's and works swimmingly, whether you're a grandma or not. ;) Oh, this cake is also great when it's chilled - it makes it more dense and SO good.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa, heaping
1 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's is a good kind)
2 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda, plus 1/8-1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup cool water, plus 2-3 tablespoons cool water
1/4 teaspoon salt

  • Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  • For the frosting: Place powdered sugar and cocoa in a medium bowl (I usually use a 4-cup Pyrex mesuring cup).
  • Heat butter and milk in a small microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until the butter is melted (be careful - if the heat is too high, it'll splatter!).
  • Gradually beat the butter mixture into the cocoa mixture until smooth.

ONE-BOWL CHOCOLATE-MAYONNAISE CAKE



One-Bowl Chocolate-Mayonnaise Cake image

Born out of a scarcity of fresh eggs, chocolate-mayonnaise cake is one of those Depression-era recipes that sounds a lot stranger than it tastes. After all, cakes rely on eggs and fat for tenderness and richness, and mayo is made of exactly those things, plus some salt and vinegar to give it tang. But you don't taste the tanginess of the mayo, and if you didn't tell anyone it was there, they would never know. Which is to say, don't let a lack of eggs or butter stop you from making cake. This cake is ridiculously good for the small amount of effort you put into it.

Time 50m

Yield 1 (8- or 9-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup/25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-processed or natural)
1 to 2 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate (optional)
3/4 cup/180 milliliters boiling water, or use hot coffee, Earl Grey tea or mint tea
2/3 cup/160 milliliters mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or a dash of bourbon or whiskey (optional)
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose or cake flour
Flavorless oil or another grease, for the pan
Confectioners' sugar, for finishing

Steps:

  • To a large mixing bowl, add cocoa powder and chopped bittersweet chocolate (if using). Pour in boiling liquid, and let it sit for a few minutes, then whisk until smooth. The chocolate will have melted, if you used it, and the cocoa dissolved.
  • Whisk in mayonnaise, salt, baking soda, 3/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Then whisk in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, if you have it (or a dash of Bourbon or brandy or just leave it out entirely). Finally, whisk in 1 1/2 cups flour (either all-purpose or cake flour), mixing vigorously to eliminate any lumps.
  • Grease an 8- or 9-inch pan (square, round, star-shaped, anything is good). Pour the batter into the pan, and bake at 350 degrees for 22 to 40 minutes, until the top springs back when the center is lightly pressed. The deeper the pan, the longer it will take to bake through.
  • Let cool, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar to finish.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality mayonnaise. The quality of the mayonnaise you use will have a big impact on the final flavor of the cake. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with fresh, wholesome ingredients and has a rich, creamy flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a good quality cocoa powder. The cocoa powder you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the frosting. Look for a cocoa powder that is dark and rich in flavor.
  • Don't overbeat the frosting. Overbeating the frosting can make it stiff and grainy. Beat the frosting just until it is smooth and creamy.

Conclusion:

Chocolate mayonnaise cake with cocoa mayonnaise frosting is a delicious and unique dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. The cake is moist and chocolatey, and the frosting is rich and creamy. This cake is perfect for any occasion.
