In Sat., Mar 7th, newsletter, Judy from Phoenix, AZ was looking for a recipe for a cake using mayonnaise. Here is my mother's recipe.

Chocolate Cake
2 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1 1/2 t. baking soda
4 T. cocoa
1 c. water
1 c. mayonnaise (or cooking oil)

Put all ingredients in bowl in order listed above and mix well. Pour into a greased and floured 9 x 13 in. pan and bake in preheated 350 degree oven until it tests done. After cake has cooled, frost with the following:

1 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. milk
Mix all ingredients and boil at bubbling consistency, add 1 t. vanilla and spread on cake. There was no time listed for cooking the frosting-I guess just use your best judgment.
