Mayonnaise Cake (Nana's)

My Nana has made this ever since I can remember. Very dense but moist, and buttercream frosting on top. I am not a chocolate cake fan, but this is the only chocolate cake I will eat.

- 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- 3
Mix sugar, mayo and cocoa together.
- 4
Mix baking soda and salt in warm water.
- 5
Add the water mixture to the vanilla (sugar) mixture.
- 6
Now add flour; mix all together and bake for 45 minutes. (I'd check it 5-10 minutes before since every oven is different. A toothpick should come out clean.)
- 7
Make buttercream frosting, that's the best kind of frosting for this cake. You don't need a whole lot of it since this cake is so rich and dense unless that's how you like it. Enjoy!

Nana’s Famous Chocolate Cake Nana’s Famous Chocolate Cake
This recipe was quite popular on Reddit a couple of years ago. I’ve wanted to try it for a while, and since my daughter specifically wanted a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for her birthday, it was a perfect opportunity!The instructions on Reddit were minimal, so I approached it as I would any other standard cake. This cake baked beautifully and was wonderfully moist and chocolatey. It’s not overly sweet and also has a medium-light texture, not dense or heavy.Please note that I multiplied the original recipe by a factor of 1.5 to obtain the amounts listed here since I was baking a three tier cake.#Dessert #KeepRecipesAlive #Party #Birthday #Potluck Chris Gan -

I cheated, and used a can of frosting because I'm too lazy to learn how to make real frosting. Remember to double the ingredients if you're making two cakes. The cake recipe calls for simple ingredients, and that's why I love it. :) Enjoy if you do try it! Teodora T.
