Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 cup mayonnaise
– 1 cup lukewarm water
Instructions
1-First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. This prep ensures your cake releases easily and bakes evenly.
2-Next, combine all the ingredients in a large bowl until just mixed, allowing some lumps to remain for the best texture.
3-Once mixed, pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4-Let the cake cool completely before adding any frosting or serving it up.
5-To adapt this for cupcakes, simply adjust the baking time. Always check doneness carefully to avoid overbaking, which keeps the cake juicy. After cooling, you can frost it with options like chocolate ganache for a professional finish.
