I'm happy to share this recipe. It's a nice solid cake that isn't over sweet like some cakes
Chocolate Mayo Cake:
3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup Cocoa powder
2 1/4 t. Baking Powder
1 1/2 t. Baking Soda
1 1/2 Cup Mayo
1 1/2 cup water
1 1/2 t. vanilla
Blend all ingredients well, pour into greased and floured cake pans. Bake on 350 oven for 30 minutes.
Frosting:
1/4 cup Crisco
1/2 Cup Cocoa
1/4 t. Salt
1/3 Cup Milk
1 1/2 t. Vanilla
3 1/2 Powdered sugar.
I add two teaspoons or orange zest for a chocolate orange frosting.
after cake is frosted, I chill mine for a few hours, this cake is wonderful cold with a scoop of ice cream.
