So this is the recipe I looked at and considered. Whats is taste like? Does the mayonnaise add anything over the usual cakes made with oil recipes?
 
I was wondering if someone would make a chocolate cake. I'm sure it tastes great since everything I've made from Nick's cookbook I have has been very good.
 
I'm not all that fond of cakes, so I am not a good one to comment. It certainly is interesting, and I would try a slice. :okay:

I remember back in the early 1980's, Blue Peter (UK kids program) did a chocolate mayonnaise cake that we baked as a trial. It was great. I've long since lost that recipe, and can't find any trace of it when I last looked online, but I do like cakes made with oil over butter and not just for the obvious dairy allergy reasons.

Just curious, is this a typo or a product name I don't know?
 
Hahaha!! Just a typo. I'd try to correct it but I'm having serious connectivity problems with the internet. I don't think the phone company has done any maintenance for about 10 years...
