- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup water
Optional
- Homemade Icing
- Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and mayonnaise until smooth. Then, whisk in the vanilla and water.
- Add dry ingredients to the mayonnaise mixture; stir until all ingredients are combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. Allow the cake to cool for about 10 to 12 minutes before removing from the pan.
- Lightly dust with powdered sugar or frost if desired.
Notes
To remove the cake from the bundt pan, turn a cooling rack upside down and place it on top of the pan. Then, carefully turn the cake pan and rack upside down so the cake turns right-side up on the rack. Carefully lift the pan off of the cake. The cake should slip right out. Give the pan a light shake if needed.
If your cake is stuck to the inside, drape a hot, damp towel over the pan. Let it sit for approximately 15 minutes. The steam and moisture will help the cake release from the pan. Then, use a rubber spatula to gently ease the cake away from the sides of the pan if needed.
