- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons (44 g) cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (237 g) water
- 1 cup (232 g) mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda until well combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Add the water, mayonnaise, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the batter is smooth and fully combined without overmixing.
- Pour batter into pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve as desired.

- You can substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or instant coffee powder to enhance the chocolate taste.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
