Mayonnaise Cake

Keepin with the tradition of puttin odd stuff into cake, Carol Schatz has a recipe that is essentially chocolate cake with mayonnaise added. I suppose that's to make it MOIST! (Schatz - the plural past tense of the verb "shit"?)

Ingredients:
2 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1 c. mayonnaise
1 c. cold water
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. soda
dash of salt
3-4 tbsp. cocoa

Oven temp: 350 degrees

Pan size: 9x11 (Now that's odd. I thought the standard cake pan was 9x13. Well, I guess when you make this you need to cut off the extra 2 inches and shove them in your mouth really quick before anybody comes into the kitchen.)

How to:
Mix all above in a large mixin bowl and beat well. Pour into greased and floured pan and bake for 30-35 minutes.

My Aunt had a recipe like this in her recipe box, but it was called "Salad Dressing Cake". I was confused, thinking "What kind? Italian, Ranch, Thousand Island.." But she clarified it to be mayonnaise or Miracle Whip. She said used to be my cousin's favorite. If she asked him what kind of cake he wanted, it was always this one. She confirmed the mayo makes it moist.
