Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake with Vanilla Glaze
My grandmother, Cleona Lamb, was known to make this cake frequently. It is super moist and chocolatey.
Recipe:
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup water
1 T. vanilla
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1 1/2 t. soda
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 t. salt
Sift dry ingredients. Add mayonnaise, water, and vanilla. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.
The glaze: 1 cup confectioners sugar, 2 T. milk, 1 t. vanilla.
I used a bundt cake pan, greased and floured. The baking time was 40 minutes or until a toothpick insert in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
This is the only recipe I have from Grandma Cleona. If anyone in the family has some of her recipes or any family recipes you are willing to share, please contact me.
