Chocolate Mint Mayonnaise Cake recipe

2 servings

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup white sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup water

1 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 (4.5 ounce) package chocolate covered thin mints

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 cups white sugar

2/3 cup milk

1/2 cup butter

1 pinch salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease and flour two 9 inch cake pans.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, 1 cup white sugar, and 1/2 cup cocoa.

Add mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and water.

Beat with and electric mixer on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes.

Pour batter into prepared pans.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 minutes.

Turn oven off, remove cake layers and allow to cool for 10 minutes in pans.

Invert 1 layer onto a serving plate and the other layer onto a cooling rack.

Top layer on plate with enough unwrapped mints to fully cover top.

Return cake to oven for 3 to 5 minutes to soften chocolate mints, then spread evenly with a spatula.

Top with second cake layer and allow to cool before frosting.

To Make Fudge Frosting: Combine 6 tablespoons cocoa, 2 cups white sugar, 2/3 cup milk, 1/2 cup butter, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium high heat.

Stirring constantly bring mixture to a boil and reduce heat to low, allowing mixture to boil gently for 3 minutes without stirring.

Remove from heat and let cool for 3 minutes before beating in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Beat with an electric mixer until just barely thick enough to spread without running off the cake.

Spread over top of cooled cake.
