Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, mayonnaise, water, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and bake for 30-35 minutes (or 40-45 minutes for a 9×13 pan), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Frosting Option: This cake pairs wonderfully with chocolate frosting or even a dusting of powdered sugar. For extra decadence, you can try cream cheese frosting or whipped cream on top.
- Substitutions: If you don’t have mayonnaise, you can substitute it with an equal amount of sour cream or yogurt for a slightly different texture.
