Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
2 cups unsifted all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup cold coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9x9x2 inch baking pan;* Line bottom with waxed paper. Grease waxed paper.
Mix and sift flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda into large mixing bowl.
Stir in mayonnaise. Gradually stir in coffee and vanilla until smooth and blended. Pour into prepared pan.
*(A heart-shaped pan of approximately the same volume is a nice touch.)
BAKE AT 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely. Remove from pan. Remove waxed paper. Frost as desired.
Alternate topping: Melt 8 oz. chocolate chips and spread melted chips while warm over cooled cake. Served with fresh strawberries, black or raspberries topped with a scoop of ice cream and whipped cream
and a cup of coffee is to die for.
