What a fun day we've had today. If you have read my previous blogs, you may remember that we have added to our family, a father and son from South America. Father lives with us this summer, and his son comes for the weekends, if his dad is not working. We learned that in Venezuela, mayonnaise is much preferred over butter. They spread mayo on food that I had never thought about. I recently found the recipe that I baked many times when our children were growing up... Mayonnaise Cake. It is the best chocolate cake we've ever enjoyed (a bit of self-praise), and it has no milk, no butter and no eggs, just a cup of mayo and a cup of water. They guys loved it but kept asking me to show them the recipe, to prove it had mayo in it.
If you would like to try this Mayo Cake, here is the recipe:
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup cold water
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix ingredients together well, and bake at 350 degrees F until done.
