"Don't let the mayonaise deter you.... this is the most delicious cake I have ever tasted. I use sweetened chocolate instead of unsweetened but other than that, I change nothing. The last time I made..." See more it, I topped it with "whipped cream cheese frosting" and it was talked about for days. Thanks."
