Mayonnaise in the batter isn't as weird as it sounds—it's just eggs and oil, after all. It's also why this cake is so moist.

Ingredients

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups mayonnaise (not low-fat)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 °F. Lightly coat cake pans with nonstick spray and line bottoms with parchment paper; spray again. Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat eggs and sugar until pale and doubled in volume, about 4 minutes. Add mayonnaise and vanilla and beat until just combined. With mixer on low speed, add dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with 1 1/3 cups lukewarm water in 2 additions, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Scrape batter into pans, dividing evenly.
Bake cakes, rotating halfway through, until a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 25 –30 minutes. Transfer pans to wire racks and let cool 20 minutes before turning out onto racks. Let cool completely.
