Ingredients

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package plain dark chocolate fudge cake mix
1 cup water
1 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's is best)
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preparation

Heat oven to 350\u00b0.
Grease and flour 2- 9 inch round cake pans.
Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl, blend with an electric mixer on low speed for one minute.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Divide batter evenly between the 2 pans.
Bake the cakes until they spring back when lightly pressed, about 28-32 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool on racks for 10 minutes.
Run a knife around the edge of each cake and invert on to cooling rack.
Cool completely and frost as desired.
