Cinna Chocolate Dream-not the Same Old Mayonnaise Cake
"One of the first cakes I learned to bake back in the 1950's. I had to rename it because my boss would not even think about eating a cake called Mayonnaise Cake. My mom can't remember where it came from, but it's moist and chocolatey and doesn't need frosting. The mayo provides the eggs, oil, and salt."

I was pretty pleased with how it came out. I was dubious for many reasons (like I'd never heard of a mayonnaise cake before, let alone made one and I used a vegan mayonnaise, Nayonaise). However, I was quite pleasantly surprised. It's not very chocolate-y, but it is quite moist and overall good! I even greased the pan with the Nayonaise because I didn't have any butter or shortening and it did the trick!

I always wanted to move to the mountains and paint flowers on my mailbox. I finally made the move about 7 years ago and am very happy-except when there is ice or snow on the road.
