  • 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups mayonnaise

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease and flour 2 9-inch round cake pans; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; whisk to combine. Add mayonnaise, vanilla, and water, and beat until smooth.

  • Cool in pans for 15 minutes. Turn out onto wire racks and allow to cool completely.
