How to Make Best Chocolate Mayo Cake With Cocoa Mayo Frosting

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch square pan or a 9-inch round pan.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
3. In a medium bowl, combine ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and ½ cup strong brewed coffee. Whisk until smooth.
4. Add 1 cup mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip for the cake), 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture. Whisk until well combined.
5. Gradually pour the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture, whisking until just blended. Do not overmix.
6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add 2-4 tablespoons of milk to reach desired consistency.
9. Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously with the cocoa mayo frosting.
10. Enjoy your surprisingly delicious and easy chocolate cake!
