Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

Chocolate mayonnaise cake may sound a little strange, but when you think about it, most mayo recipes (or store bought) contains oil and eggs, which are typically used in a packet mix for a cake - ‘just add eggs and oil’ etc…. so that’s why this recipe has on the official list no eggs or butter, but instead you end up with a lovely super light, creamy and moist sponge which is very addictive indeed! To take things up a notch for freshness we make our own homemade mayonnaise too, this is optional, but I think doing it really helped me understand the recipe more and may have made it that little bit more creamy. Good luck if you try it, it’s actually really nice!

Turns out this is actually bloomin' tasty, it just sounds a little quirky with mayonnaise in it, but it really was a super good cake that I hope you try! If you'd like to here is a recipe method in my own words with a few hints & tips barrylewis.net/recipe/chocolate-mayonnaise-cake/ share it or Bruce Bogtrotter it for yourself!

Easy to clean the scale off the pot, I use 1/2 cup of vinegar with 1/2 cup water every 10 or 20 pots and just boil it, comes out clean… rinse once cool and never fuss again. If your water is harder, you may need to do it more often... I added a filter to my house, so I hardly get any scale now.

An idea for one of your cooking hacks videos. NO BS MAYO. Basically, put your egg (or aqua faba if you're doing a vegan mayo) oil, mustard and lemon into a jug together. Plunge a stick blender to the bottom and blend the lot until it becomes mayonnaise - none of this adding the oil a drop at a time - and it works perfectly.

Btw, when you do your “keeping an eye” on whatever, reminds me of my childhood when my sister called me to her when I was at the end of the block just for her to do that same gesture and tells me, “Mom told me to keep an eye on you.”

Greetings from Canada! I have been watching your channel for over a year, now, and I have to say I really enjoy all of your videos and especially enjoy your puns! I have been making mayonnaise cakes for years and they are always a family favourite. Once, when Making chicken balls with some students, we used mayonnaise, flour, baking powder and water for our batter, as there were no eggs to use. It was amazing! If you are looking for a new stand mixer, I would like to suggest that you check out an Ankarsrum mixer. It has a clear mixing bowl, which is plastic, as well as a stainless steel bowl. It is quite an investment, but extremely versatile and has a number of attachments available. It's well worth investigation!

When lining circles or odd shapes with paper, it really helps if you crumple up the paper first. Just crumple it all up into a ball, then flatten out again, then line your pan, the wrinkles will let you tuck the paper right into place.
