My sister and I make the meal for our mom and dad every year on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. On Father’s Day, my dad almost always asks for his favorite dessert of chocolate mayonnaise cake with peanut butter frosting for dessert. I have eaten this cake every year ever since I was a little girl! It is relatively easy to make and pretty fail-proof. The frosting is rather sweet, which is just fine with me! Try it and see if you like it!
Recipe for Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake
Baking Time Required: 35 min. Preheat oven @ 350°
Ingredients and Directions:
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 cup of salad dressing (like Miracle Whip)–This makes the cake moist, but you don’t taste the salad dressing once it is baked.
- 1 cup of cold water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Grease and flour a 13″ x 9″ cake pan–I actually used cocoa instead of flour since it was a chocolate cake.
Beat all ingredients together. Pour into prepared cake pan.
Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
We like to frost this cake with Peanut Butter Frosting.
Recipe for Peanut Butter Frosting
Ingredients and Directions:
- 3-3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup of peanut butter
- 1/4 cup of milk (I probably used closer to 1/3 c. cup–but I also used 3 1/2 c. powdered sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat all ingredients together with a mixer until smooth. If too stiff, add more milk. Only add a tiny bit of milk at a time until you get your desired consistency.

Sounds yummy. Can you use mayo instead of salad dressing?
I’ve only used salad dressing, but it’s called chocolate mayonnaise cake–so I would try it.
Thanks for hosting another amazing party – have a wonderful weekend!
