My Favorite Chocolate Cake Recipe

My favorite chocolate cake recipe with a moist and delicate crumb with a big chocolate flavor thanks to dutched cocoa powder and my secret ingredient, mayonnaise! 

I know mayonnaise might sound a bit odd but if you think about it, mayo is just eggs and oil in fluffy form. Who doesn’t wan’t more fluff in their cake amirite?

One of the reasons this chocolate cake is so popular with cake decorators and clients alike is that it’s got an amazing texture just like my super popular vanilla cake recipe.
