My mother made a mayonnaise chocolate cake when I was growing up. She said that it was invented during WWII when food was rationed. Women couldn't get butter to make cakes with so someone came up with a recipe using mayonnaise instead of butter to make a chocolate cake. It was a big hit and has been around ever since. Most people in America have eaten it at one time or another.
The brand I use is Kraft, but here is a recipe for a very simple mayonnaise that is just as good as Kraft.
Mayonnaise
Ingredients:
1 extra large egg
2 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 -1/4 cups oil
salt and pepper
Directions:
put lemon juice and mustard and egg in blender. While the machine is running pour the oil very slowly. As the mayonnaise thickens, the sound of the machine will change. It will seem like it takes a very long time but just be patient, it does take a while.
*** It is very important to add the oil very slowly in a fine stream.
