: In the 70's I had a wonderful recipe to make a chocolate cake made with a chocolate cake mix and mayonnaise, substituting for the eggs and oil. It was very moist and delicious! Have moved several times and lost it, please help. Thanks.
Mayonnaise Cake
Ingredients
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
