Well let me say that I know that this picture is awful but I can assure you that the cake was yummy and the icing on top was even yummier!
(Food can be really hard to photograph and make it look appetizing or even edible at times! :0)
The icing on this cake reminds me of the buttermilk cookies that I MUST bring home with me everytime we visit Sugar Creek. (Amish)
YUMMO!
So I made the cake for my husband since he loves chocolate and for me,I would have been satisfied with just a spoonful of the icing.
Caramel Iced Chocolate Cake
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. soda

1 cup boiling water
2 tbsp. mayonnaise
Combine all except for the water and mayo.
Add boiling water and mayo.
Bake in a greased 13X9 pan at 350° for 50 minutes.
Let cool.
When cake is cool then make the icing and spread over cake.
Caramel Icing

Sounds good. going to try it today!
As a kid my mother made a choc cake that had to be with mayonnaise, and the eggs I think were eliminated. It was so moist. I'll have to look for that recipe too on eof these days.
Oh my, this does look and sounds good!
