| So far so good. |
Add dry ingredients to wet and mix just until combined.
Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out
clean.

| It took an hour for the center to get done. By that time, the edges were burned. |
Once the cake has cooled, frost with your favorite
frosting and enjoy!

| The frosting improved the appearance but not the taste. |
My Rating: 3/5 "I felt weird about this the whole time. Like, the liquid stuff in the mixer was really watery and didn't seem to have a prayer of holding the dry ingredients together. The issue with cooking time was what really tanked everything, though. I had been told that mayonnaise cakes are rich and moist and delicious, but this one was none of those things. (I should note, though, that of the five people who ate it only myself and my 5YO didn't finish our servings. Everyone else seemed to think it was acceptable."
