1 cup mayonnaise (this is the secret ingredient!)
For the Chocolate Frosting:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preparing the Cake Batter:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine, ensuring that all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Incorporate the Secret Ingredient: Stir in the mayonnaise, which adds incredible moisture and richness to the cake without altering the flavor. The mayonnaise is the “deep dark secret” that makes this chocolate cake stand out.
Add Hot Coffee: Gradually stir in the hot coffee (or hot water) into the batter. The batter will be thin, but this is what gives the cake its super moist texture.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
