Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan (or line it with parchment paper).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the mayonnaise to the dry ingredients and mix until the batter begins to come together.

Gradually pour in the hot water while stirring, ensuring the mixture becomes smooth and fully combined.

Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed in the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
