A favorite bake on my egg is a triple chocolate cake in a bundt pan. Today I was reading the history of Duke's mayo and ran across this cake recipe using Duke's. I just wondered if anybody here has tried it. Here's a link... http://www.washingtonpost.com/pb/recipes/dukes-chocolate-cake/13678/

    When I was a kid, my Mother had a recipe for Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake. It was awesome.
    I don't have the recipe, but she allowed me to make it occasionally, with her supervision. It was super moist. 
     That was 45 years ago. I wish I had the recipe now.

    So far the response hasn't been deafening LOL! I may just go ahead and try this recipe but since I don't have the two 8" cake pans needed plus I don't need the added calories from the frosting I won't do that either. Just the same going bare nekked as I call my favorite chocolate cake which also has no frosting I think I can do a better taste evaluation.

    Don't know about others, but in some thread a while back on this forum someone mentioned it and similar great comments were made.

    I think Duke's mayo is the best commercial mayo available. It's different than Hellman's but I find it hard to explain why. I've made homemade mayo before, and like this recipe; http://www.sisboomblog.com/2012/12/mayonnaise-recipe/. I added 2 tsp cider vinegar and 1 tsp sugar to give it a Duke's Mayo taste. I would think this is a good recipe. Since mayo is essentially oil and eggs, I can see the mayo making it moist.
    I like my butt rubbed and my pork pulled.

    I was raised on Bama mayonnaise. The stuff is great. Would never eat any other kind. My wife and I got in a huge fight shortly after we were married because she brought some other brand home. It has always been Bama mayo or no mayo. That being said, about 6 months ago I tried Dukes and the stuff is great. I now buy both.

    I think I recently read that Duke's has less sugar in it than most mayo. Something to do with it being developed during the Depression or a war time and sugar was scarce and expensive. Anybody hear anything like that? Whatver, still my favorite brand.

    According to the Washington Post article:
    Thankfully, Eugenia didn’t stop with sandwiches. Inspired by letters from soldiers requesting the recipe for her sandwich spreads, she began bottling mayonnaise as a separate product around 1923. She used oil, egg yolks and cider vinegar, which gave the mayonnaise a particular tang, and she left out sugar, rationed during wartime.
