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. My Mother always led me to believe that it was a very complicated and complex cake to make whenever I asked for it, I suppose to make me think it was something special. It wasn't until i moved out and asked for the recipe that I learned how simple it really was. Clever lady my Mother. :) Makes 9 X 16 cake or 2 -9X9 cakes

Tips:

  • Use good quality cocoa powder: This is the key to a rich and flavorful chocolate cake. Look for a cocoa powder that is labeled "natural" or "unsweetened."
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to a tough, dry cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking chocolate cake is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and whipped cream are all great options for topping chocolate cake.

Conclusion:

This moist, deep chocolate mayonnaise cake is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a hit with chocolate lovers. With its rich flavor and velvety texture, this cake is sure to be a favorite.
