Old Fashioned Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake!! Noreen's Kitchen

Greetings! After many requests for this recipe tutorial, I am finally giving in! Old Fashioned Chocolate Mayonnaise cake is like one of those urban myths of the kitchen. I can assure you that this does exist due to the overwhelming memory factor of so many people, I just had to share this one.
The best I can tell after much research and a look through my own grandmother's recipe collection, I can figure that this was nothing more than a marketing campaign by the Hellman's/Best Foods company to sell mayonnaise and extol it's virtues and versatility during the dark days of World War II when foods of a certain variety were being rationed and housewives had to make due with ingredients that were available and on hand.
Nonetheless, this cake was born and this cake is delicious! You won't know that there is mayo in there, it is nothing more than a substitute for eggs and oil in the batter. This cake is rich and moist and wonderfully old fashioned. You are going to love this one! I frosted mine with my not so seven minute icing and I torched it to toast the marshmallowy goodness on top.
Give this one a try the next time you have a craving for old fashioned goodness!
I hope you try this and I hope you love it!
Happy Eating!
