Hellmann's Chocolate Mayonnaise Easter Cake

For Easter, I decided to make my family a chocolate mayonnaise cake from a recipe I got from my mom's cookbook. To add a more 'Easter feeling', I decorated it with Cadbury Mini Eggs & coated it in chocolate frosting.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of all purpose flour
• 2/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa
• 1 1/4 tsp of baking soda
• 1/4 tsp of baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 1 2/3 cups of sugar
• 1 tsp of vanilla 
• 1 cup of Hellmann's mayonnaise 
• 1 1/3 cups of water

Directions:

• Grease & flour a 2 9'' round cake pan, or a 9" x 13" pan.
• Combine the first 4 ingredients; set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar & vanilla together with a mixer on high speed for 3 minutes, or until the mixture is creamy.
• On a low speed, mix in the mayonnaise until it's smooth.
• Add flour mixture in 4 equal parts, alternating with water & ending with flour mixture.
• Pour into the pan & bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
• Let it cool for 10 minutes before you remove it from the pan & frost it.

Changes:

I added a bit more mayonnaise & water to the mixture to make it more fluffy & moist - & it worked! I also used a pan that was designed for bundt cakes, so I had to almost double the amount of ingredients for the flour mixture in order for it to fill up all the way - that worked well too!
