      Title: One-Bowl Chocolate-Mayonnaise Cake
 Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Chocolate
      Yield: 8 servings

    1/4 c  (25 g) unsweetened cocoa
           - powder
      2 oz Chopped bittersweet
           - chocolate
    3/4 c  (180 mL) boiling water or
           - hot coffee
    2/3 c  (160 mL) mayonnaise
    1/4 ts Kosher salt
  1 1/2 ts Baking soda
    3/4 c  (150 g) granulated sugar
      1 ts Vanilla extract
  1 1/2 c  (190 g) A-P or cake flour
           Flavorless oil for the pan
           Confectioners' sugar; for
           - finishing

  To a large mixing bowl, add cocoa powder and chopped
  bittersweet chocolate (if using). Pour in boiling
  liquid, and let it sit for a few minutes, then whisk
  until smooth. The chocolate will have melted, if you
  used it, and the cocoa dissolved.

  Whisk in mayonnaise, salt, baking soda, 3/4 cup
  granulated sugar until smooth. Then whisk in a teaspoon
  of vanilla extract, if you have it (or a dash of Bourbon
  or brandy or just leave it out entirely). Finally, whisk
  in 1 1/2 cups flour (either all-purpose or cake flour),
  mixing vigorously to eliminate any lumps.

  Grease an 8" or 9" pan (square, round, star-shaped,
  anything is good). Pour the batter into the pan, and
  bake @ 350°F/175°C for 22 to 40 minutes, until the top
  springs back when the center is lightly pressed. The
  deeper the pan, the longer it will take to bake through.

  Let cool, and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar to
  finish.
