Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Warm water
- 2 large Eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vanilla extract, warm water, and eggs until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or using a hand or stand mixer on low speed. Mix until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain, but avoid overmixing.
Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and use a spatula to smooth the tops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting, ganache, or whipped cream. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
