Description
When you think about it, mayo is just oil and eggs, things that normally go into a cake anyway. So why not just skip a couple steps and use mayonnaise in your cake. The secret ingredient to this cake makes it perfectly moist, tender, and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor. Top with whatever frosting you like if desired!

Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a 9" square baking pan with parchment paper, and lightly grease it with oil.
- Whisk together all ingredients in a large bowl until just fully combined.
- Pour your batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake uncovered at 350F for about 30 minutes, or until the top and edges are set and browned, a toothpick to the center comes out clean, and the internal temperature is around 205F.
- Transfer to a wire rack, and let it cool completely before cutting into 16 square slices.
Notes
- To make a healthier version of this mayo cake replace the white flour (2 cup, 240 g), white sugar (1 cup, 200 g), and storebought mayo (1 cup, 220 g) with whole wheat flour (2 cup, 240 g), pure granulated monk fruit (1 tbsp, 8.4 g), liquid monk fruit (1 tbsp, 15 g), and my homemade EVOO Mayo (1 cup, 220 g).
Each baked slice will then be about 45 g.
