Lynne's chocolate cake!

The easiest cake you could ever possibly make...
also known as...
A Lifesaver for Busy Parents...
also known as...
Lynne’s chocolate cake!


-- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, then put all ingredients into one big bowl (preferably one that you can throw in the dishwasher).
-- Mix it up (preferably with an electric mixer).
-- Pour into a greased and floured pan, about half full.
-- Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
-- After the cake has cooled, you can frost it or sprinkle it with confectioner’s sugar if you want, but plain is good, too!

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
3 tablespoons cocoa
1 cup mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip)
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla

NOTE: From sad experience, I have learned NOT to use fat-free or low-fat mayo in making this recipe. Just eat less and enjoy the real thing! ALSO, you know how kids usually can’t lick the bowl because of raw eggs? Well, since this cake is made with mayo instead of eggs, they CAN! (Or, you can…) This recipe is great for kids learning to cook and it was passed down to me by my mom, Pat Foster.
