Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake with Brown Sugar Frosting
Fr: Brandie @ www.thecountrycook.net/chocolate-mayonnaise-cake-with-brown/
If you are of a particular generation (cough, cough) this will not sound like an odd recipe at all. But, more recent generations may have never heard of it so I’d love to introduce you to this beauty of a cake. This cake should never, ever be forgotten or lost to recipe history. Basically because it is darn good. Darn good! It requires no eggs and no oil. Say what? Yup. That’s where the mayonnaise comes in. I mean, that’s what mayonnaise is; eggs and oil. It makes this cake SO incredible moist. If you need a go-to homemade chocolate cake, this is it! It is hands-down THE BEST chocolate cake you will make.
Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 35 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Servings: 12
Ingredients
For the cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
4 tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa
2 tsp baking soda
1 cup water
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp brewed coffee black
For the frosting:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
2 tbsp milk
2 cups powdered sugar loosely packed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350f degrees.
Spray a 9 x 9 square pan with nonstick baking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking cocoa and baking soda)
In a separate bowl, whisk together water, mayonnaise, vanilla extract and coffee.
You just want to use plain, brewed coffee - no additional milk or sugar added.
Slowly add the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients.
Stir just until combined.
Pour into prepared baking dish.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes (until a toothpick inserted comes out clean).
Once the cake is finished, start preparing the frosting.
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine brown sugar and butter and cook until bubbly.
Be sure to whisk constantly so it doesn't burn.
Take off the heat and stir in the milk.
Then gradually add in powdered sugar.
Whisk until smooth.
Frost the cake!
Recipe Notes
The cake doesn't have to be cooled completely to top with this frosting.
Work quickly.
The frosting hardens fast as it cools.
