*** DOUBLE THIS RECIPE *****

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix sugar, mayo and cocoa together.

Mix baking soda and salt in warm water.

Add the water mixture to the vanilla (sugar) mixture.

Now add flour; mix all together and bake for 45 minutes. (I'd check it 5-10 minutes before since every oven is different. A toothpick should come out clean.)

Make buttercream frosting, that's the best kind of frosting for this cake. You don't need a whole lot of it since this cake is so rich and dense unless that's how you like it. Enjoy!
