Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

Before you ewwwww this, try it, it is a wonderful recipe!! So miost and yummy!
New recipe: Chocolate Mayonaise Cake
2 cups unsifted flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 2/3 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup mayonnaise
1 1/3 cups water

Grease and flour 2 9 inch round pans or a bundt pan (I do not recommend an angel food cake pan, outside gets really crusty before the inside is done). In a medium bowl stir together flour, cocoa, soda, and powder, set aside. In a large bowl with a mixer at high speed beat sugar, eggs, and vanilla for 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low, beat in mayonnaise. Add lour mix in 4 additions alternately with water, begining and ending with the flour mix. Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove and cool on wire racks. Frost as desired. Garnish with alomonds.

Modifications:
Use rum extract instead of vanilla.
If you can find it, use the Hershey's Special Dark cocoa instead of regular unsweetened cocoa, this is really good.
Use mint extract or almond extract or even a little amaretto instead of the vanilla.

Enjoy!
Next week: A really good frosting...
