Duncan Hines Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

Cultural Context

Originating in the United States, Duncan Hines Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake became popular during the Great Depression as a way to create moist cakes without the need for eggs or milk. The use of mayonnaise, a staple in many American kitchens, adds richness and moisture to the cake. Today, this cake remains a beloved dessert, often made for birthdays and celebrations, showcasing the creativity of home bakers.

8 servings
Servings4
1 box Duncan Hines devil's food cake mix
1 and a third cups of water
2 large eggs
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup chocolate chips
6 tablespoons butter, softened
2 and 2/3 cups of powdered sugar
half a cup of cocoa powder
1/3 cup of milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease your 9 by 13 by 2 inch cake pan with cooking spray.

2

In a large mixing bowl, add the cake mix, eggs, mayo, and water. Mix by hand or with an electric mixer until the cake batter is well combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold the chocolate chips into the cake batter.

3

Pour the cake batter into the 9 by 13 by 2 inch cake pan and bake for 35 minutes or until the center of the cake springs back. Let the cake cool on a wire rack until it is no longer hot.

4

While the chocolate cake is cooling, prepare your chocolate buttercream frosting. In a large or medium mixing bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until it becomes creamy.

5

Combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder in a small bowl and whisk together. Alternate adding the powdered sugar and cocoa powder with the milk, beating the frosting mixture until smooth and creamy. Then mix in your vanilla extract until it is combined.

6

Using an offset spatula or a rubber spatula, frost the cooled chocolate cake with the chocolate buttercream. Cut the cake with a knife, serve, and enjoy.
