Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

Introduction
So very moist and NO ADDED eggs or oil (aside from the ones in the mayo)! Moistest cake ever. The family loves it. For real decadence frost with Sander's Frosting. YUM!
Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup Hellman's (Best Foods) Light mayonnaise
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup Hellman's (Best Foods) Light mayonnaise
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
1. Sift the flour, cocoa, soda and salt together. (I suggest not using a regular sifter as the cocoa does not come out well, use a strainer instead)
2. Cream the sugar, mayonnaise, water and vanilla together.
3. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and stir.
4. Pour batter into greased and floured 9 x 13 inch pan.
5. Bake at 350°F. for about 25-30 minutes.
When serving cut into 12 pieces to get the nutritional info listed.
Serves 12 for 189.5 calories each. Since it is very rich a smaller piece satisfies. If you make cupcakes it will make 18-24 depending on size of tins.
Keep it covered tightly to retain its moistness. We eat it plain but you can sprinkle powdered sugar on it to make it fancier. Use a paper doily and sprinkle the powdered sugar through a sifter. Lift doily and you have a beautifully decorated cake.
