The cake I remember my Mom making a lot is a chocolate mayonnaise cake. She made others but this is the one I remember. She had the recipe written on an index card inside a recipe box. This recipe box was full of recipes she had and my grandmothers gave to her. I always told her I wanted the recipe box and when she passed, I got it along with all the recipes that were put in it by her, my grandmothers and other family members. There were also some from when my sister and I were kids and we got them from school or where ever. All of those recipes were actually transferred from her old recipe box (the one from when I was growing up) into a new one. I don't know what happened to the old box. You can tell from the picture of the recipe that it is very old. In fact, it is getting hard to read but I don't have the heart to make a copy of it and get rid of this one. This box now contains recipes my kids got from various places. The box and all the recipes in it will go to my daughter when I pass.
Below is the recipe my Mom used and I now use for Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake. The recipe for the frosting is one I found online. The recipe reads "cake tester"; use a toothpick. Also, I didn't take the cake out of the pan to frost.
