Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the pan)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan lightly with butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Add the mayonnaise, water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely in the pan.
Optional: Once the cake is cool, dust the top with powdered sugar for a simple, elegant finish.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your rich and moist Chocolate Mayonnaise Sheet Cake!
