- 2 cups (256 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons (44 g) cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup (237 g) water
- 1 cup (232 g) mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cake.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda to combine evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the water, mayonnaise, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture until you achieve a smooth, well combined batter with no lumps.
- Prepare Pan and Pour Batter: Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper, then pour the batter evenly into the pan.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: 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 before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This cake is very moist due to the mayonnaise; avoid overbaking to keep its tender texture.
- You can substitute water with coffee for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Use a good quality cocoa powder for the best taste.
- If desired, dust with powdered sugar or frost with your favorite icing.
- Make sure to measure ingredients accurately for consistent results.
