Being a food blogger, I often have friends that like to surprise me with their bakes. One of my friends made a delicious chocolate cake and proudly asked me to guess the secret ingredient. When she announced, mayonnaise, I must admit I was pretty amazed. I quickly got to work on creating my own version of her delicious cake. This cake has a deep chocolatey flavor that pairs perfectly with my Chocolate Glaze that’s smooth and creamy without being too sweet.
How To Make Your Own Buttermilk
To make your own buttermilk at home, add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Full-fat milk is best, low-fat or skimmed milk will still work. Stir and let stand for 5 minutes. The mixture may look a little curdled, but that’s fine. For this recipe: 1 cup of butter milk = 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice.
Step by Step Instructions
In a large bowl combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl add mayonnaise, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Then add the cup of coffee. Add the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix until combined. Add to the greased pan. Bake and allow the cake to cool on a wire rack. Glaze before serving if desired (I used my chocolate glaze recipe). Serve and enjoy! Freezing Instructions: Freeze the cooled, unfrosted cake wrapped well for up to 3 months. Erren’s Kitchen is written and produced for informational intentions only.
