Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, soda, and salt into a mixing bowl.
- Add water, mayonnaise, and vanilla to the dry ingredients.
- Mix well until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a loaf pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 50 to 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, sift the dry ingredients multiple times to incorporate air. If you’re out of mayonnaise, you can substitute with an equal amount of blended silken tofu for a vegan version. Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing results. If you prefer a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of instant coffee to the batter.
Serving Suggestions
This mayonnaise cake is delightful on its own, but you can enhance it with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate ganache. It pairs beautifully with a cup of Spiced Warm Cider for a cozy treat. Consider serving it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh berries for added indulgence.
Storage & Reheating
Once cooled, store the mayonnaise cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, simply slice and warm in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, or enjoy it cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend if needed. Keep in mind that the texture may vary slightly, so consider adding a bit more liquid if the batter seems too thick. Make sure to use a blend that contains xanthan gum for better structure.
How can I make this cake chocolate flavor?
To enhance the chocolate flavor, increase the cocoa powder to 1/2 cup and reduce the flour by the same amount. You can also add chocolate chips to the batter for an extra chocolatey treat. This will make the cake even richer and more decadent.
Is it possible to make this cake ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake the cake a day in advance. Just ensure it cools completely before storing it in an airtight container. This allows the flavors to meld, making it even more delicious when served the next day.
