By barbaran

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp. butter (for the pans)
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, (plus more for the pans)
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup hot water
• 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 350°. Butter and cocoa powder 2 ( 8-inch) cake pans. Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl; flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Then add Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise, eggs, water and vanilla and stir until just mixed through. Divide batter into the 2 prepared pans.
2.Bake 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean. Unmold the cakes and allow to cool 30 minutes. Frost with your favorite frosting, but I like simple whipped cream for this.
