Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 35 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 grams Low-fat mayonnaise
- 240 ml Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the low-fat mayonnaise, warm water, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Optional: Dust the top of the cake with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar or serve with fresh berries for garnish.
