Description
This Chocolate Mayonnaise Bundt Cake is a game-changer! Using mayonnaise as the secret ingredient ensures every bite is ultra-moist and packed with rich, chocolatey flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup mayonnaise (full-fat for best results)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot water (or hot coffee for a deeper flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pan and Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour your Bundt pan to ensure an easy release.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
- In a large bowl, beat together the mayonnaise, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Bring It All Together
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, alternating with the hot water (or coffee), starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix!
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a chocolate glaze before serving.
