Description

Mayonnaise might seem like a surprising ingredient, but it simply adds oil and eggs in one step, making the cake extra moist with no taste of mayo!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 11x7-inch baking pan.
2 Sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Add mayonnaise, water, and vanilla; beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting, if desired.
