Another easy and budget-friendly recipe from the past, made with simple ingredients you probably already have at home! Especially when it’s hot out, we think twice before spending too much time in the kitchen. Don’t be surprised by the mayonnaise—it makes the cake incredibly moist and delicious! You’ll be amazed by the result and remember this recipe!

During World War II, eggs and oil were scarce. Mayonnaise served as a convenient substitute, allowing people to make a moist and tasty cake without relying on traditional ingredients.

Mayonnaise is mainly made from oil and egg yolks, which add moisture to the cake. The lecithin in egg yolks helps distribute the fat evenly throughout the batter, resulting in a tender, moist crumb.

So, here’s how to make a rich and irresistible chocolate cake without beating eggs or using heavy cream. The creamy mayonnaise replaces both the eggs and the fat. It mixes in easily with just a quick stir.
