So, if you’ve satisfied your savoury cravings on the mornings after the night before with my Breakfast Pasty recipe and that still leaves an itch asking to be scratched, try that Blue Peter classic the Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake… Try it, you might like it. I did say might.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Sift together the flour, cocoa, soda and salt. Cream together the sugar, mayonnaise, water and vanilla. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture; stir until well blended. Pour batter into greased and floured layer cake pans (or a 9 x 13 inch pan). Bake at 350°F. for about 25 minutes.
I went for cupcakes and made an espresso topping…
- Cream 125g of softened butter with 250g of sifted icing sugar.
- Add 30g of melted chocolate or a couple of teaspoons of cocoa powder and finally a double espresso.
- Mixture should be nice and thick. Use loads to ice each cake.
- Sit back wait for the caffeine and sugar to course through your veins. Happy hangovering, folks.

They certainly *look* good… I’m just wondering how they taste… Aline?
They were…. good – with a very soft texture. It was like creating processed food at home. A bit weird. Would recommend them for their curiosity value. xxA
