I made this wonderful mayonnaise cake that I used to make many years ago. It did not disappoint and surely should be called the
100 dollar cake. Followed it and substituted cake flour with substitutions to equal cake flour and it was awesome. Disappeared in minutes.

Can I use plain flour?

In reply to Sara. I haven't tried it but what you would want to consider is that the cocoa powder acts a little bit like flour (it's a dry ingredient), you might end up with half of the batter a little thicker than it's meant to be and the other half a little thinner than it should be.

I haven’t yet tried this. Do you think it is possible to put cocoa into only half of the batter to make a marble cake?

In reply to Susan. Hi Susan - I used it straight out of the fridge but room temperature would probably work even better.

Does the temperature of the mayo matter? As in straight out of the fridge vs. room temp?

Hi Barbara,
As others have stated, my granny also had this recipe. One thing she did though was used 1 cup cold coffee instead of water. Some may like this substitute as it adds additional flavor.
