MAYONNAISE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING
This is my father-in-law's mother's cake recipe from Oklahoma, and I'm posting it for safe keeping. Word (word in our family, that is) has it that no one made a mayonnaise cake like she did. She would always send one back with my husband's family when they made a trip out to Oklahoma to visit from Colorado. The frosting she put on it was boiled sugar frosting, and my father-in-law's father apparently liked frosting so much it was like, "How about a little cake with your frosting?" That's what I've heard anyway. ;) I've tried to make the boiled sugar frosting a couple times, but it doesn't come out right (maybe it's the Colorado altitude, maybe it's my cooking skills, maybe it was a grandma thing [she did have 50 years of making it behind her]. Who knows.), but my husband - the grandchild that loves mayonnaise cake the most out of all of them, so much so that we were gifted the "mayonnaise cake pan" upon the grandmother's passing - likes it just as much with this chocolate frosting. The frosting recipe is adapted from Hershey's and works swimmingly, whether you're a grandma or not. ;) Oh, this cake is also great when it's chilled - it makes it more dense and SO good.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x12 baking pan.
- Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl until you can't see any more flour.
- Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- For the frosting: Place powdered sugar and cocoa in a medium bowl (I usually use a 4-cup Pyrex mesuring cup).
- Heat butter and milk in a small microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until the butter is melted (be careful - if the heat is too high, it'll splatter!).
- Gradually beat the butter mixture into the cocoa mixture until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla.
- Spread the warm frosting over the cooled cake. The frosting makes about a cup or so.
Tips:
- Use high-quality mayonnaise for the best flavor and texture. Look for a mayonnaise made with real eggs, oil, and vinegar.
- Make sure the mayonnaise is at room temperature before using it. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
- If you don't have any buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help it rise evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- For a richer frosting, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
- If you don't have any cocoa powder, you can use melted unsweetened chocolate instead.
- To make a chocolate ganache, heat 1 cup of heavy cream until it is just simmering. Remove from heat and add 8 ounces of chopped semisweet chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- You can decorate the cake with chocolate chips, sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
Conclusion:
Chocolate mayonnaise cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion.
