2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
4 heaping tablespoons cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
pinch of salt
1 cup water
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
In large mixing bowl sift together (or just mix well) dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients. Mix until smooth (about 2 minutes). Pour into greased and floured pan (8″x8″, 9″x9″, or tube pan - I use a 9″ tube
pan). Bake at 350F for 35-45 minutes. Use toothpick test.It is a fragile cake, and so doesn’t lend well to layers (it’s possible, but you must be very careful). We usually make it in a 9×13x2 pan and frost it in the pan so that it’s easy to transport
to family gatherings.
It is also a very easy cake; you can make it in one bowl with a wooden spoon. Be sure to use real mayonnaise (not light) and cold water so that the mayonnaise doesn’t separate.The mayonnaise
is the shortening and the eggs. Sift together:
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
Add:
1 cup (+~2 tbsp) ice water
2 tsp (+) real vanilla extract

When mixed thoroughly, fold in:
1 cup real mayonnaise
If you’re using a mixer, fold the mayonnaise in by hand. Stir just til mixed; do not overbeat. Pour into a greased and floured (or Baker’s Joy’ed) 13×9x2 pan and bake 30 minutes at 350 F. Cake is done when
it starts to pull away from the sides of the pan and the top starts to crack; you can also use a toothpick test; do not overcook. Cool five minutes before removing from the pan.Frost with canned frosting or homemade butter frosting:
1/2 stick butter
1 lb powdered sugar
(dash salt)
1/2 cup cocoa (optional)
2 tbsp (+) milk
1 tsp (+) vanilla
Cream butter, 1/2 sugar, and salt. Add cocoa and 1 tbsp milk. Cream.Add sugar and milk til the consistency is right and then beat at mixer’s highest speed. Frost cake immediately.
