That makes sense because  "real" mayonnaise is just eggs and oil. Bv)=
Clever people our ancestors.

Here's another. I stole the title from Marcel Desaulniers, chef emeritus
of the CIA (Culinary Institute of America). Although, Bennigan's has
trademarked the name and claim to have been the "inventors". That's
just advertising and marketroid flummery. A version of D.B.C was made
and served by Chownings Tavern (distanr relatives of mine) in Colonial
Williamsburg, VA.

      Title: Death By Chocolate Bundt Cake
 Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Chocolate, Dairy
      Yield: 12 slices

 15 1/2 oz Box Devils Food Cake mix *
    3.9 oz Box instant chocolate
           - pudding mix
    1/2 c  Water
    1/2 c  Oil
      4 lg Eggs
      1 c  Dairy sour cream
     12 oz Bag Chocolate Chips
           Chocolate syrup; garnish
           Powdered sugar; garnish
           Shortening & flour for pan

  * Drunken Hines or Betty Crocker - either works well. -
  UDD
  
  Combine cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, eggs and sour
  cream. Whisk until well combined and there are no dry
  clumps. Add in your chocolate chips and mix until just
  combined.

  Grease your bundt pan well. A thin layer of shortening
  or Pam and a dusting of A-P flour. Properly greasing
  the pan is eritical to easily removing your cake from
  the pan intact, as well as not burning the outer edge 
  of your cake, don't skip this step!

  Pour the cake batter into greased bunt pan. Bake @ 
  375ºF/190ºCfor 45-50 minutes. When cake is done, a
  toothpick or fork will come out mostly clean.

  Leave in pan until completely cooled. After plating
  cake, drizzle with chocolate syrup and a dash of
  powdered sugar to garnish!

  UDD NOTE: If you wish garnish each slice with a nice
  Maraschino cherry impaled with a cocktail skewer (a
  plastic sword or fancy toothpick. Makes a nice looking
  presentation even if your guests do not care for the
  cherries.
