ONE-BOWL CHOCOLATE-MAYONNAISE CAKE
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.

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.

Steps:
- Mix flour, sugar, baking powder & mayonaise. This is best done by an electric food mixer to ensure the mixture is throughly mixed.
- Dissolve the cocoa in the boiling water & stir into the mixture along with the essence until throughly blended.
- Place the mixture into a 7 inch greased & lined cake tin.
- Bake at gas mark 4/ 180C/ 350F for 30 - 40 minutes. Test with a skewer.
- cool in the tin before removing.
- For the icing - If you are using Betty Crocker ready mix chocolate frosting go straight to step 9.
- Dissolve the coffee & cocoa in the hot water.
- Cream together the margarine/butter & icing sugar. Beat in the cocoa liquid.
- Spread over the top & sides.
Tips:
- Use high-quality mayonnaise for the best flavor. Look for a brand that is made with fresh, whole eggs and has a creamy, thick texture.
- Be sure to measure the mayonnaise correctly. Too much mayonnaise can make the cake dense and heavy.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Chocolate mayonnaise cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. It's moist, fluffy, and has a rich chocolate flavor. The mayonnaise in the cake adds moisture and helps to keep it tender. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
