CHOCOLATE MAYONNAISE CAKE



Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake image

This is a rich, chocolaty cake that is simple to make and stores well staying moist. This has long been my favorite recipe and while growing up I always requested it for a birthday cake.

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 ripe dates. Softer, riper dates will blend more easily and give your cake a richer flavor.
  • Soak the dates in hot water before blending. This will help to soften them even more and make them easier to blend into a smooth paste.
  • Use a high-powered blender. A regular blender may not be able to blend the dates smoothly enough. A high-powered blender will ensure that the dates are completely pureed.
  • Don't overbeat the batter. Overbeating the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a greased and floured pan. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This chocolate date mayo cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and has a rich chocolate flavor. The dates add a natural sweetness to the cake, and the mayonnaise helps to keep it moist and tender. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
