Sitting here with fourth son who's frosting the birthday cake for third son. He made a chocolate cake with mayonnaise, and the taste of it (with cream cheese frosting) is wonderful. We usually use Crisco as the fat in cakes, but since we were out of that after making pasties last night, I got online to see if there were recipes using oil. Yes there are (to answer the next question), but in my searches I found the recipe linked above.
Total yum-ness! :) The cake has a tiny bit of bite with the flavor of the mayonnaise, and with the frosting...my oh my, it's good.
In a few minutes will put together the birthday meal, which is like Greek Spanakopita, but I use only one box of frozen spinach, don't add the ricotta and use some Parmesan instead along with the Feta, and also add cooked chicken. We'll have Green Beans Almondine as well, though we usually have a Greek-style salad.
Time to go, must lick the frosting knife, if the least one doesn't beat me to it. ;)
