Sunday Spoil: Mayo chocolate cake
Chocolate mayonnaise cake might sound strange but it is one of the most delicious cakes you will ever eat, and it's super moist.
You’ll need: 2 cups flour; 3 eggs; 2 teaspoons baking soda; ½ cup cocoa; 1 cup sugar; ½ teaspoon salt; 1 cup B-well Creamy Gourmet Mayonnaise; 1 cup water; 2 teaspoons vanilla; B-well baking spray.
How to:
Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt together.
In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar, mayonnaise, water and vanilla until it is creamy and fluffy.
Add the bowl of dry ingredients to the bowl with the ingredients you just whisked and stir everything together.
Spray some B-well baking spray in a baking pan and pour ingredients into the pan.
Bake at 180°C for about 25 minutes. After 25 minutes test with a knife to ensure the cake is not raw and remove from the oven.
Once the cake has cooled down, you may start putting your chocolate icing on.
The icing used for this cake was dark chocolate ganache icing. Simply chopped up 250g dark chocolate (70 per cent cocoa) and added the chocolate to 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. You simply heat the cream in a saucepan, once it starts boiling remove from heat immediately and adds the dark chocolate, whisk together until the chocolate has melted completely.
