Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Water
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the mayonnaise, water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost the cakes with your favorite frosting, such as chocolate buttercream, and stack the layers. Serve and enjoy!
