I know what you are thinking - Mayonnaise in a cake?!?!? I know, I know. Chicken Legs thought the same thing until he took a bite. Then we was like mayonnaise in a cake! YES!!!

When you think about it, it makes sense that this would be good. Mayonnaise is just eggs and oil. Eggs and oil definitely go in cakes, so why not mayonnaise?!?!? This cake is super moist and crazy delicious. The chocolate cream cheese frosting really puts this cake over the top!

We like to serve it slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Chicken Legs has done extensive testing on warming cake, and he has concluded that nine seconds is the perfect time to microwave the cake. That gets the cake warm but not warm enough for the frosting to start melting.

This Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake is great for potlucks, tailgating, the upcoming holidays or a Thursday! Give this a try the next time you have a chocolate craving. I promise you won't be disappointed!!
