Frosted Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake image

IN my family this cake is also known as war time cake. I was a child during WWII but still remember my Mother making this cake as a treat, when eggs, butter and sugar were rationed. It's rich and moist, a little goes a long way and it has been fail proof.

This cake was a bit dry. I think I should have used more mayonnaise in the batter.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still good. I think next time I'll use a semi-sweet chocolate frosting.

I was skeptical about using mayonnaise in a cake, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was smooth and creamy.

I've tried many chocolate mayonnaise cakes, but this one is by far the best. The texture is moist and fluffy, and the frosting is perfectly sweet and creamy.
