Steps:
- FOR THE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350°F Measure ingredients into mixing bowl in order given. Mix together well. Spread in greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake in oven for 30 minutes until an inserted wooden pick comes out clean.

MOM'S CHOCOLATE MAYONNAISE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE DELUXE FROSTING
This was the cake my mom made for every birthday in our family when I was growing up. I make it when I'm homesick or just need a ton of chocolate. The mayonnaise makes the cake very moist; you can't taste the mayo at all.

MAYONNAISE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING
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.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x12 baking pan.
- Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl until you can't see any more flour.
- 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.
- Stir in vanilla.
- Spread the warm frosting over the cooled cake. The frosting makes about a cup or so.
CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This frosting is sooo good. It almost has a whipped consistency, and it tastes absolutely delicious. I use it when I want a rich & smooth chocolate frosting. It is my "go-to" frosting, and my family is always asking me to use it. I cannot even remember where I found it because I have been using it for so long. I usually end up doubling the recipe, which is the perfect amount for a two-layer cake. The most important step is letting your cream cheese and butter soften. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your cake. Use real butter, not margarine, and use pure vanilla extract, not imitation.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dry cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at a moderate temperature (350 degrees F) so that it has time to rise and cook evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
- Use a fluffy frosting: A fluffy frosting, such as cream cheese frosting or whipped cream frosting, will help to balance out the dense chocolate cake.
