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. This secret ingredient cake is perfectly moist and airy, with a rich chocolate flavor. Top with whatever frosting you like if desired!

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F. Line a 9" square baking pan with parchment paper, and lightly grease it with oil.
  2. Mix together all ingredients in a large bowl with a silicone spatula until just fully combined.
    1. Pour your batter into the prepared baking pan.
    1. 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.
    1. Transfer to a wire rack, and let it cool completely before cutting into 16 square slices.
    Notes
    1. 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), granulated monk fruit (1 cup, 200 g), and my homemade EVOO Mayo (1 cup, 220 g).
