Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1.5 cups Fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda to ensure there are no lumps.
Add the vanilla extract, mayonnaise, and cold water to the dry ingredients. Mix well with a wooden spoon or hand mixer until the batter is smooth and free of streaks.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has fully cooled, top it with fresh raspberries. If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top for a decorative finish.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy this rich and tangy chocolate cake with friends and family.
