Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise (not low-fat)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine and Bake: Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Pour the batter into the pan(s) and bake for 30–35 minutes.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool before frosting or serving.

Notes

  • This cake is extra moist thanks to the mayonnaise, which acts as both the fat and the eggs.
  • Pair with chocolate ganache, cream cheese frosting, or powdered sugar for serving.
