This is my favorite cake, Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

This brings back many good memories for me. My Mom used to make this for me and my Dad for birthdays and special occasions. Yummmmm!
It has that deep chocolate taste and not to sweet. Mom always made homemade butter cream frosting. Either vanilla or chocolate was good.

CHOCOLATE MAYO CAKE

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups water
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Lightly grease
two 9 inch layer pans.

Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa, and sugar
into a large bowl. Stir in mayonnaise. Gradually add water
and vanilla and blend until smooth. Pour batter into pre-
pared pans.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Cool,
remove from pans.

Peabody's Doughnuts

These were good, A lighter cake doughnut than my Mom's recipe but good all the same. We test them plain without the sugars and jams, Doughnuts have their own character, and I haven't found one I really didn't like.
I'll drive 2 miles out of my way to avoid the Krispy Kreme shop...It's too tempting!
