Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup full-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup hot water or brewed coffee
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add mayonnaise and vanilla extract to the dry mix; combine until thick and well-blended.
4. Gradually pour in hot water or coffee while mixing on low speed until the batter is smooth.
5. Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Tap gently to remove air bubbles.
6. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
8. Frost with chocolate buttercream or ganache once fully cooled.
9. Slice, serve, and enjoy the moist, chocolatey goodness!
Notes
Use hot brewed coffee instead of water for a deeper chocolate flavor.
Always use full-fat, unflavored mayonnaise for best results.
Let the cakes cool completely before frosting to avoid melted icing.
