MY MOM'S CHOCOLATE CAKE
I can't believe I'm sharing this family recipe. It's the signature Jansen Family Recipe and no family gathering is complete without it. I'm submitting it for a request for recipes and ideas for a sleep-over/birthday party event. It's from my Mom, it's old, I have no idea where it came from. No need to drag out the mix-master for this, just a bowl and a pot is all you need.

MOM'S CHOCOLATE MAYONNAISE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE DELUXE FROSTING
This was the cake my mom made for every birthday in our family when I was growing up. I make it when I'm homesick or just need a ton of chocolate. The mayonnaise makes the cake very moist; you can't taste the mayo at all.

MOM'S CHOCOLATE WATER CAKE
My mom passed away in 1991 and my sisters and I have wished we had some of her recipes. We really missed her water cake, fried corn, augratin potatoes and a few others. The other day my sister came across this recipe and scanned it to send me a copy. This is so good and though you put them in order of cake mix on the bottom and topping on top, once it bakes the pudding is on the bottom and cake on top. It is DELISH! Gonna save it here where I know I can find it if I loose my copy. Enjoy

Steps:
- Boil butter, crisco, and water in a sauce pan.
- Pour mixture over sugar, flour, and cocoa.
- Mix well but do not beat.
- Stir in remaining ingredients and pour into greased 9x13 pan.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 400°F.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter to come together more smoothly and evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender cake.
- Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Do not open the oven door during baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
