I read a few people say they used more cocoa so I did too. I really think the extra cocoa was necessary (I used 1/2 cup). I baked mine in a bundt pan for 50 minutes and it turned out perfectly. I wasn't blown away with the final result...

Easy and so yummy! You can't taste the mayo at all. I used 1/2 a cup of cocoa to make it super chocolatey.

This was my very first cake of any kind I ever made and it was the Best I ever tasted! My family loved it! I made some adjustments that were suggested: 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa, 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder, 1 2/3 cup sugar, 1 1/3 cup water and used a bundt cake pan. baked 50-55 mins.

This cake was handed down to me from my Aunt. What really makes the cake is heere frosting, made with butter, table sugar, vanilla and a flour and water mixture to bind everything together. The regular table sugar makes a unique flavor and texture.

I have had this recipe for over 20 years and I love it. But, I find that if I use a mixer it comes out dryer than if I just use a wire whip to mix the ingredients together until moist. It comes out so moist it sticks to your fork. Yummy!!!

This was pretty decent cake. I added chocolate chips and blueberries before cooking. It came out very moist and I think the blueberries added a great taste. I "frosted" it with whip cream.

was ok for a chocolate fix when you have nothing else, But not that great. Duncan Hines is better. It didn't fully cook in the middle and was very dry on the edges almost overdone. Also added a peanut butter icing and was still dry and bland. The kids enjoyed it though!Off to try more recipes to find the one :)

This is the BEST cake I have EVER made!!! The only thing I did differently was add about 1/2-1 cup of chocolate chips. It turns out amazing every time. I think I have made it about 5-6 times within the last month because everyone loves it! Thank you Cathy for this awesome recipe. I do not think I will ever make another cake from a box again! Thank you again.

I found the taste of this cake to be a little odd for my liking. It wasn't horrible but I would not make it again.

Delicious but not chocolate-y enough. Easy for the kids to make and no egg shells : )

I was looking into why mayonnaise? IT was cheaper then buying eggs in the 50"s. IT was so easy i used salad dressing it was tangy but realy great. THIS recipe is old school and a must keep in our cook book. nice to see back to basic and this is it.
