Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup water
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch rectangular pan. Optionally, dust the pans with unsweetened cocoa powder for extra chocolatey flavor.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, mayonnaise, water, and eggs. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the ingredients together for about 2 minutes, or until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans or pour it all into the rectangular pan. Smooth out the surface with a spatula to ensure even baking.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 5
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6
Once cooled, frost or decorate as desired. Serve and enjoy your rich and delicious Cake Mix Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake!
