Triple Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cups Flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened Cocoa powder 
• 1 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon instant Coffee
• A pinch of Salt
• 3 Eggs
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 1/4 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon pure Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips

For the Chocolate Filling

• Use either your favorite store-bought chocolate frosting (I used one when I first made this cake) or your favorite homemade recipe, if you have one. If you need one for the filling - here's a good and very easy recipe. This is for a full entire cake (not just for cake filling) so I suggest cutting the recipe in half and adjusting the sugar and chocolate content to your taste. Use the filling/frosting when making the cake in 2 pans. 

For the Dark Chocolate Ganache (use milk chocolate if that is preferred)

• 4 oz Dark eating Chocolate (65-70%), broken into pieces
• 4 oz Heavy Cream
• 1 Tablespoon Honey, Corn, Agave or Maple syrup or your favorite liquid sweetener (adjust sweetness to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter 2 round cake pans (9-inch ones) and line with parchment paper.
2. Mix together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, coffee and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
3. Add the eggs, mayonnaise, sugar, water and vanilla into the flour mixture. Stir until well-blended but do not overmix.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips. Transfer the batter to the prepared pans. 
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Oven temperatures vary so adjust the time accordingly. 
6. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack. Cool the cakes completely before adding the chocolate filling and coating with the ganache.
