TODAY'S RECIPE - WALDORF CHOCOLATE CAKE
Made with mayonnaise, instead of eggs and shortening.
8 Servings - 350 degree oven
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa, preferably Dutch process
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup cold water
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 cup heavy cream, whipped or 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add water, vanilla and mayonnaise and beat at low speed just until smooth.
Turn into 2 greased and waxed-paper-lined 8" layer cake pans, or one greased and floured 9" square baking pan. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes for 8" pans, and 45 minutes for 9" pan, or until cake pulls away from the sides of the pan and toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool on rack for 5 minutes, then unmold and let cool completely before frosting with whipped cream and stacking them. For the square cake, sift confectioners' sugar over top.
