I recently got a copy of the Good Home Cookbook<\/a>\"\". It is full of homey, classic recipes, like Yankee Pot Roast, Franks and Beans, Ham and Noodle Casserole, Apple Dumplings, and Mexican Wedding Cakes. Of course, the first thing I made from it was a baked good!

\"snack<\/a><\/center>This is the One-Bowl Chocolate Snacking Cake. Lame photo, sorry. Dudes, it has mayonnaise in it! In a cake recipe! I had heard of this before but had never tried it. You know, it’s really quite tasty. The cake was moist and flavorful, and even the mayonnaise haters gobbled it up. I didn’t frost it, and the recipe says frosting is not necessary, but really, why NOT frost it (there are two types of people–frosting people and non-frosting people. I am in the first camp). Next time I will probably frost.
\nRead on for the recipe!<\/p>\n


\nOne-Bowl Chocolate Snacking Cake from the Good Home Cookbook<\/a>\"\"
\nServes 6
\nIngredients:
\n2 cups all-purpose flour
\n1 cup sugar
\n1 cup cold coffee (I used decaf)
\n1 cup mayonnaise (Best Foods, of course! I bet the Trader Joe’s kind would work fine, though)
\n1\/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
\n2 tsp baking powder
\n1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9″ square baking dish\/brownie pan
\n2. In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients. Yup, you read that correctly–ALL the ingredients. Stir until well blended then pour into the prepared pan.
\n3. Bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
\n4. Cool pan on a cooling rack. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream or FROSTING.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
