The cake does have a different texture to any other that I have made, and to me it's best served like a pudding with some cream or icecream.
Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake:
250 g self-raising flour
50 g cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
200 g golden caster sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
150 ml water
200 g mayonnaise
1 medium egg
Preheat oven to 180 C/350 F/Gas 4, butter and flour a 24 cm springform tin.
Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder into a large bowl., then stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre. Add the vanilla, 150ml cold water, the mayo and egg. Mix until smooth.
Spoon into the prepared tin and bake for about 30 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Serve warm with berries and cream/crème fraîche for pudding, or allow the cake to cool completely and ice with fudge frosting and serve with tea.
