: In the 70's I had a wonderful recipe to make a chocolate cake made with a chocolate cake mix and mayonnaise, substituting for the eggs and oil. It was very moist and delicious! Have moved several times and lost it, please help. Thanks.
Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
Ingredients
4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/3 cups water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 2/3 cups white sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch pan.
2 To a large mixing bowl, add sugar, eggs, and vanilla; beat at high speed for 3 minutes, until nice and light. Add mayonnaise and melted chocolate; beat on low until well blended.
3 In a separate bowl, mix flour, soda, and baking powder together. Add flour alternately with the water to the chocolate mixture in four additions, beating well after each addition. Pour batter into prepared pan.
4 Bake for 45 minutes. Cool.
Makes 1 - 9 x 13
