Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures that the dry ingredients are well combined and free of lumps.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, water, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Ensure that there are no lumps in the batter.
5. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Frosting (Optional): You can frost the cake with your favorite chocolate frosting or a simple dusting of powdered sugar.
8. Serve: Once the cake has cooled and is properly frosted (if desired), slice and serve!
