Easy Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

My love for quick bakes is very well evident all over the blog. I love cakes, but I hate when I have to wait for the butter to soften, and then to be beaten, eggs to be bought to room temperature and beaten till fluffed, etc. Yes, they do give soft and pillowy cakes and is worth all the hard work but then people like me for whom each minute is split into seconds for every activity, I always look out for recipes that can be done in a jiffy and the monster in me can be tamed!

I have baked with mayonnaise once in these cupcakes and the result was good. I have been hearing a lot about how wonderful the combination of chocolate and mayonnaise and have been wanting to make a cake since ages. This is when I landed up on this recipe. It is great for a snack cake, especially when you want to make cake but don’t have eggs or oil at hand! The mayonnaise does a good job at replacing both these quantities. Very easy to put together, very mild of sugar levels – it goes perfect with a sweet cup of coffee. If you want to frost the cake, then do check out the link which has a frosting recipe in it. I always wonder why I don’t frost my cakes. There’s hardly any on this blog, apart from the Tiramisu cake, the Black Forest, the Dark Chocolate Cake and my first butter-cream attempt. I have to slowly start putting myself in trying various frostings, but believe me, the calories in a frosted cake really peeve me off, though I would love to have them once in a blue moon!
