Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Moist Mayo Cake with Creamy Peanut Butter Frosting.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, take a 9-inch baking dish and grease it well to ensure your cake comes out easily after baking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, mayonnaise, water, unsweetened cocoa powder, and baking soda. Mix everything together until the batter is smooth and well combined. This is where the magic happens, as the mayonnaise adds moisture and richness to the cake!
Step 3
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes. To check if it's done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean when the cake is ready.
Step 4
While the cake is baking, prepare the peanut butter icing. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, evaporated milk, and margarine. Bring this mixture to a boil and let it cook for 2 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect creamy texture in your icing!
Step 5
Once the mixture has boiled, remove it from the heat and stir in marshmallows. Keep stirring until they melt completely into the mixture. Then, add in the peanut butter and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing until the icing is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
When the cake is done baking, take it out of the oven and pour the warm peanut butter icing over the top. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the icing to set slightly before slicing into this delicious treat. Enjoy your moist mayo cake with creamy peanut butter frosting!
How to Serve
Serve slices of this moist mayo cake on a decorative plate, garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or crushed peanuts for an extra touch. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience!
How to Store
To keep your mayo cake fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. Just make sure to let it come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture!
