Dessert

Seriously Good Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

What you will need

You might not have thought about putting mayonnaise in a chocolate cake, but this cake is seriously good!

  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla essence
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup caster sugar
  • 3/4 cup Heinz® Seriously Good™ Mayonnaise
  • 125 g dark chocolate
  • 1/2 cup cream

Method

  1. Mix the cocoa, hot water and vanilla essence together in a jug. Cool.
  2. Sift the flour, baking soda and sugar in a bowl and make a well in the centre.
  3. Combine the Heinz®  Seriously Good™ Mayonnaise with the cocoa mixture and then pour in the well. Mix together gently.
  4. Pour into a well greased and lined 20cm round cake tin.
  5. Bake at 180°C for 35-40 minutes until the cake is cooked when tested. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cake rack.
  6. When cold, ice with your favourite chocolate icing, or with our Rich Chocolate Giaze, or simply dust with icing sugar to serve.

 

Rich Chocolate Glaze

Melt 125g dark chocolate with 1/2 cup cream together in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir to combine, cool a little and then pour over the cake and smooth out.
