How to Make Best Chocolate Mayo Cake With Cocoa Mayo Frosting
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch square pan or a 9-inch round pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gradually pour the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture, whisking until just blended. Do not overmix.
- 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.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- 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.
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost generously with the cocoa mayo frosting.
- Enjoy your surprisingly delicious and easy chocolate cake!
