| Introduction |
| This cake recipe is from the late 60's. It may sound weird but the mayonnaise replaces the salt, butter and eggs in a normal cake recipe, and it is a really great cake.
Note: For all of you saying YUCK out there....Michael Chiarello featured a recipe for Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake on a recent episode of his show! |
| Ingredients |
| For The Cake:
3 Cups unsifted all_purpous_flour
1 1/2 Cups granulated_sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/4 tsp baking_powder
1 1/2 tsp baking_soda
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1 1/2cups water
1 1/2 tsp vanilla_extract
For The Icing:
1 box sifted powdered_sugar
4 Tbsps cocoa powder
1 8oz block cream_cheese at room temp
3/4 cube softened butter
1 tsp vanilla_extract
2 Tbsps cream
Pinch salt |
| Directions |
| Step: 1 | Grease 2 9 inch cake pans and line the bottoms with wax paper.
Sift together dry ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir the mayonnaise into the dry ingredients. Gradually stir in the water and vanilla and mix until batter is smoothly blended. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Cool in pans for 15 minutes and then unmold cakes onto a wire rack and gently remove waxed paper. Cool completely before icing with the chocolate cream cheese icing. |
| Step: 2 | For the icing. In a medium sized mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese and the butter with a mixer until light and fluffy. Combine sifted powder sugar, cocoa and salt. Add slowly to the creamed mixture along with 1 Tbsp of the cream. Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth. Add the remaining Tbsp of cream if the icing is too thick. |
