Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a hand whisk or spatula until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out with a spatula if necessary.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Once the cake is fully cooled, frost it with your favorite chocolate frosting or dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
