It sounds strange, we know, but mayo is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/perfect-chocolate-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/perfect-chocolate-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">secret ingredient for the perfect chocolate cake<\/a> (even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/surprising-ingredients-your-grandma-puts-in-her-chocolate-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/surprising-ingredients-your-grandma-puts-in-her-chocolate-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Grandma knows it<\/a>!).<\/p>\n<p>Think about it: Mayonnaise is made of mostly eggs and oil, which are two essential ingredients in cake. Mayo also contains vinegar, and when that\u2019s added to a chocolate cake, it sharpens the flavor of the ingredients for an even richer-tasting chocolate flavor.<\/p>\n<p>Bakers started making chocolate cake using mayo during the Great Depression as a substitute for expensive ingredients like butter and milk. Now, you can still find this ingredient in chocolate cake recipes to this day. It\u2019s even rumored to be in Portillo\u2019s famous chocolate cake!<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how to make your own beloved chocolate mayonnaise cake at home.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Mayonnaise Cake<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise:<\/strong> Be sure to use full-fat mayonnaise for the best mayo cake texture, or else the cake will turn out chewy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> Avoid the temptation of sticking your measuring cup right in the bag. Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-measure-flour-the-right-way\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-measure-flour-the-right-way\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">measure flour the right way<\/a>. Baking is a science, after all!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking cocoa:<\/strong> Our chocolate cake using mayo tastes so much richer, tangier and fuller than your typical chocolate cake recipe. Grab your favorite baking cocoa from the pantry, and dive in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar:<\/strong> Brown sugar adds depth of flavor due to its molasses profile, and we love how its hint of smokiness complements the tangy richness from the mayo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Create the batter<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F. In a large bowl, whisk together the water, mayonnaise and vanilla until well blended and lump-free. In another large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa and baking soda.<\/p>\n<p>Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the mayonnaise mixture until blended.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip: <\/em>Don\u2019t overmix the batter trying to get every lump out, or your cake will turn out tough and dense.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Bake<\/h3>\n<p>Grease a 9-inch square or an 11&#215;7-inch baking pan, and pour in the batter. Use a mini offset spatula, butter knife or the back of a spoon to spread the batter evenly to all four corners.<\/p>\n<p>Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cake completely to room temperature.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Finish with frosting<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1978652\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chocolate-Mayonnaise-Cake-FT24_172_EC_032824_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake on a plate with a fork\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a small saucepan, cook and stir the brown sugar and the butter until the mixture is bubbly.

A covered cake plate, cake box or storage wrap does the trick. Some may choose to refrigerate this cake, but it&#8217;s not necessary. This cake can last up to three days at room temp or five days in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h2>Can I freeze mayonnaise cake?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/properly-storing-cakes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/properly-storing-cakes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">freeze cake<\/a>. Once the cakes are out of the oven, let them cool to room temperature, then wrap them tightly in a few layers of storage wrap. An unfrosted mayo cake can last for up to two months in the freezer. Freeze the frosted chocolate mayonnaise cake by keeping the cake in the pan and wrapping the pan in storage wrap.<\/p>\n<p>Thaw the cake for an hour at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h2>Mayonnaise Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1978653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Chocolate-Mayonnaise-Cake-FT24_172_EC_032824_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake served on a plate with a fork\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What does mayonnaise do to a cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Mayonnaise can be used in place of fat or oil in cake recipes.

I would  change the recipe - less soda, maybe less water -  I don't know - but I've made a choc-mayo cake before, and this is a very different taste and texture.
