Chocolate Mayo Cake
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ⅔ cup cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups mayo
- 1 ½ cups brewed coffee cooled
- 1 ½ tsp. baking soda
- 2 ¼ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 ½ tsp. vanilla extract
Minute Fudge Frosting
- 1 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate chopped
- 1 cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable shortening
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Chocolate Mayo Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Thoroughly grease Bundt pan with non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients.
Add mayo, coffee and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Pour cake batter into greased Bundt pan. Bake 35-40 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn the cake out onto wire rack and cool completely.
Minute Fudge Frosting
While the cake is cooling, combine baking chocolate, sugar, milk, shortening and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Boil frosting for one minute, then remove from heat.
Add vanilla and mix well. Allow frosting to thicken enough to pour over cake (20-30 minutes). Frosting should pour nicely over cake, but be thick enough where it doesn't all run off.
