Anyone else have a sweet tooth? I love to bake. Desserts are what make my kitchen go round. I used to purchase boxed cake mixes by the half dozen when they came on sale. Until (you guessed it) I started reading the ingredients.

I went back through our family recipes and came across my great-grandmother’s chocolate cake recipe. This comes together super quick and tastes better than its processed boxed counterpart. After all, if a recipe has survived this many years, you know it has something going on.

The secret is the mayonnaise and the coffee. The coffee heightens the chocolate flavor and in my opinion, something can never taste too chocolatey. You don’t taste the coffee in the finished cake.
