Cocoa Mayonnaise Cake

Cocoa Mayonnaise Cake has been a go-to in my kitchen for years. When I want something rich, moist, and easy. It’s the kind of recipe that surprises people, but once they taste it, they’re hooked. The mayonnaise replaces eggs and oil, giving the cake a soft crumb and deep chocolate flavor without any fuss.
