Mayonnaise chocolate cake – notes
Mayonnaise cake, or more precisely, mayonnaise bundt cake, is probably not new to you. The tradition of baking such a bundt cake is quite deep in Poland, and I myself have on my blog a recipe for mayonnaise cupcakes and for a spotted bundt cake with mayonnaise. Our Polish recipes allow for baking a fluffy cake. However, today I have a recipe in the American version. This cake is made without a mixer, mixed with a spoon in a bowl. With just a few basic ingredients. Moreover, this cake turns out very moist, dense, and more “meaty” – closer to a brownie than a fluffy cake. You must try it if you like intensely chocolate cakes.
What ingredients are needed to make mayonnaise cake?
For the cake itself, you will only need 6 commonly available ingredients – wheat flour, sugar, milk, bitter cocoa, baking soda, and of course, mayonnaise. I did not add any eggs, butter, or oil to the cake. Mayonnaise is the only fat added to the cake. I additionally drizzled my cake with a simple chocolate frosting made from 30% heavy cream and dark chocolate (I prefer less sweet cakes). If you don’t want to make it, simply sprinkle the mayonnaise cake with powdered sugar after baking.
How to make vegan chocolate cake with mayonnaise?
From this recipe, you can very easily prepare vegan chocolate cake. All you need to do is buy vegan mayonnaise in the store – there’s quite a wide selection. Additionally, remember to replace cow’s milk with plant-based milk – choose your favorite plant-based drink. If you want to make chocolate frosting for your vegan cake, buy vegan chocolate and melt it with a small amount of plant-based milk – it’s best to do this in a bain-marie.
How many calories does chocolate mayonnaise cake have?
The calorie count for 100 g of cake (with chocolate frosting) is given above in the recipe, but if you divide the cake into 24 roughly similar-sized portions, a slice of cake will have approximately 290 kcal (carbohydrates – 32 g, protein – 4 g, fat – 15 g). Here I provide the calorie count calculated for the products I used. Cake without frosting will, of course, have fewer calories.
I also recommend another chocolate cake without using a mixer – with delicious chocolate ganache. You can watch a short video where I show how to make such a cake.
