CHOCOLATE MAYONNAISE 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.

Categories     easy, cakes, dessert

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.

CHOCOLATE MINT CAKE



Chocolate Mint Cake image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     project, dessert

Time 2h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
6 ounces fine-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 large eggs
1/4 cup creme fraiche
1 cup milk
6 tablespoons creme de menthe liqueur
Chocolate mint glaze (see recipe)
Mint sprigs for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a large tube or bundt pan and dust the pan with the cocoa. Tap out excess cocoa and set the pan aside.
  • Place the chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the creme fraiche. Beat in the cooled chocolate.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer stand. Using a spoon, stir in the flour a little at a time, alternating with additions of milk and creme de menthe. Stir until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top and bake until the cake is springy to the touch and just begins to pull away from the edges of the pan, 65 to 70 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert the cake onto a rack to cool completely.
  • When cooled, place the rack over a sheet pan. Pour chocolate mint glaze over the cake and smooth with a spatula. Transfer the cake to a platter and garnish with mint sprigs. Serve or refrigerate.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality chocolate chips. A good quality chocolate chip will melt evenly and smoothly, resulting in a richer flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in a dry cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you do not have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on the cake.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This chocolate mint mayonnaise cake is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and refreshing mint frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
