This is such a delicious and easy cake-very moist, too! From the Cake Mix Doctor. Mixes up in minutes, but it tastes like you spent much more time on it. Frost with your favorite frosting-mine is #86768, Perfect Chocolate Frosting, by taylortwo. Serve with a big glass of ice cold milk-chocolate cake heaven, if you ask me. Oh! There is mayonnaise in this cake-don't say yuck! It adds moisture, but no flavor or extra sweetness to the cake. Really, it's just eggs and oil, right?
Ingredients:
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package plain dark chocolate fudge cake mix
1 cup water
1 cup mayonnaise (hellman's is best)
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°.
2. Grease and flour 2- 9 inch round cake pans.
3. Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl, blend with an electric mixer on low speed for one minute.
4. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
5. Divide batter evenly between the 2 pans.
6. Bake the cakes until they spring back when lightly pressed, about 28-32 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and cool on racks for 10 minutes.
8. Run a knife around the edge of each cake and invert on to cooling rack.
9. Cool completely and frost as desired.
