Various cake experts swear by mayonnaise in the chocolate cake . Yes, you read it right. The creamy sauce, which we are more familiar with in the context of fries, egg salad and Co., also cuts a fine figure when baking. If you consider that a real mayonnaise mainly consists of egg and oil , the idea is no longer so absurd.
The mayonnaise is supposed to replace the fat (oil or butter) that is used in most chocolate cake recipes. It makes the cake beautifully juicy and milder in taste. At the same time, it balances the sugar it contains - the cake tastes full-bodied.
