Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mayonnaise (full-fat)
1 cup water or brewed coffee
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or one 9×13-inch pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in mayonnaise, water or coffee, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour Batter: Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and smooth the top.
- Bake: Bake round cakes for 25–30 minutes or a 9×13-inch cake for 35–40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool: Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Frost when completely cooled.
Notes
Brewed coffee deepens the chocolate flavor but can be replaced with water.
Ensure even mixing by sifting dry ingredients before combining.
Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
