Easy to make and tasty. I liked the texture of the cake as it is moist but not falling apart, it is also not too sweet. I followed the directions down to the confectioners sugar and a dap of whip cream when I served it (cool whip and really liked it. It will be great with coffee in the morning. Even my little ones ate it up. I'll be making this one again only for a family gathering and I will be making The Barefoot Contessa's Chocolate Buttercream frosting to top it with. I have a feeling its gonna be great!

By far my favorite cake recipe. Always comes out of the oven moist and delicious. It's so easy to make, and if you have a pantry stocked with some basics you can throw it together for last minute company in no time. I usually serve it with a drizzle of caramel and/or chocolate sauce, but when I feel like getting fancy I cut the cake in half and spread jam (blackberry and orange marmalade are two of my faves between the layers. I don't feel it needs frosting, but a little ganache never hurt anybody.

My mom always made this cake for my birthday (she also didn't add buttermilk, as that was expensive. The best frosting for this super moist and chocolatey cake is a 7 minute frosting. The two just go together so well!

This is excellent! After months of searching I have found one that comes so close to tasting like my Gramma's. I mixed half cup of sour cream w/ 3/4 cup of buttermilk for a more tart flavor (may try miracle whip instead of mayo next time for the tartness. After reading the other reviews I chose to mix gently to keep the cake light and tender. Due to my oven not working I had to bake the batter in several batches using glass baking dishes and one small silicone bundt pan in my toaster oven. All of the cakes baked very quickly, I took them out a min or so early due to the glass staying hot enough to keep cooking while cooling. All three of the cakes came out moist, tender, and full of chocolate flavor. I heated some cream cheese frosting to a glaze consistancy and drizzled it on the cakes after removing them from the pans. The cakes were a great hit. I will make this one again, maybe next time try adding some coffee to the mix. It was like having Grandma in the kitchen with me again!!

I have looked and looked for this recipe and I am thrilled to have it. It is just like my mother used to make nice and moist with a rich flavor. I made cupcakes and filled them with peanut butter cream filling, they were a hit. Next time which will be soon I'll fill them with a vanilla cream filling.
Thanks

I made this cake for a friend of mine and she loves mayonnaise cake. This was the only recipe I could find, instead of regular mayonnaise I only had the light. It came out great, very moist. Instead of using the confectioners sugar I used a basic butter cream icing, and it really worked for me. My friend loved it. Thanks for the great recipe, especially hard to find ones.

This is the best chocolate cake recipe EVER, putting even the most popular box mixes to shame. I ended up making cupcakes with store-bought vanilla icing and they're now my new guilty pleasure :

The recipe my mom gave me is a little different than this one . My dad din't care for mayonnaise. But he always use Miracle Whip on his sandwiches. So mom would use that in the mayo cake. she also left out the salt but increased the soda to 2tsp.
and she used all purpose flour and a cup of warm water in place of the butter milk.
I always use a 13x9cake pan it lets it spread out more so there is more icing to cake. I have tried to use an electric mixer on this cake but it seems to come out better if it is mixed by hand. My mom always said your mixing in the love.

This cake is marvelous; my mother made this when I was a child in the 30's. It is very moist and if you find it dry it is more than likely you over beat. Just beat the batter until the ingredients are incorporated; don't beat it to death or the result will be a dry cake.
