Description

The addition of mayonnaise makes this easy chocolate cake recipe nice and moist.

Ingredients

cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two (8- or 9-inch) round cake pans.
2 Sift together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
3 Blend together mayonnaise, sugar, water, and vanilla in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined. Add flour mixture slowly, beating for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool, then frost with your favorite frosting.
