fcgamer 4,522 Member · Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I was browsing through my FB feed a few moments ago, and one of my friend's mother had put up an image for one Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake. I personally hate mayonnaise, the to thought of putting it into a cake I find to be extremely repulsive, just thinking about it makes me feel sick. Why would someone ruin something as "safe" and delicious as a cake in this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorScoutMandy 782 Member · Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 It can be used an egg replacer. Mayo is just eggs and oil, which go into a cake anyways. I had to use it once when I didn't realize I was out of eggs, you couldn't even tell it was mayo. The cake just turned out nice and fluffy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I guess thinking about it is kind of odd since I like eggs just fine. Totally hate mayonnaise though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhleo 2,119 Member · Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 We put mayonnaise in raw cake batter all the time. It’sa secret ingredient known by many to create ultra moist, fluffy, decadent chocolate cakes. It doesn’t give any “Mayo” taste to the cake either, and the only ingredient in mayonnaise that isn’t normally added to cake batter is vinegar and lemon juice…again, doesn’t leave that in the flavor profile of the cake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhleo 2,119 Member · Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) just Google recipes for “mayonnaise cake” and look at the sheer quantity of results, and photos. I hate all forms of fish but absolutely love Caesar dressing…that stuff is literally grounded whole anchovies, eyes, guts, brains, last meal, and all. (Not really sure on that really, but I know anchovies are important to the recipe) Edited August 28, 2021 by ThePhleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do know people who loved that cake, later found out it had mayonnaise in it, and have a mental block that prevents them from wanting to get it again. 2 hours ago, fcgamer said: I honestly want to believe you guys, but is there anyone here that hates mayonnaise yet likes mayonnaise cake, and can therefore give a statement? So, I guess that speaks to this quote. As long as you can get past the fact that what you're eating contains mayonnaise, it is possible as you really can't taste it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Monkey 1,954 Member · Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The maintenance guy at my old work used to make peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwiches in the kitchen all the time. He'd spread them out, slap them together and take a bite. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loved Cheetos for years until we told them they have sour cream in them. He hasn’t had them in probably close to 20 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrobins 1,594 Moderator · Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hmm I might have to look up a recipe and try this. I’ve made chocolate cakes that use vinegar instead of eggs and they taste pretty good. I guess it comes down to whether an ingredient is functioning as a chemical to make the final product (like eggs or flour) or as a flavor. Sometimes they perform as both, like vanilla, and thus what might make that ingredient unpalatable on its own actually very tasty when other ingredients take the edge off.

Alder 242 Member · Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 There's a Swedish dish called Smörgåstårta (literally "sandwich cake") that is basically just an inside-out sandwich in cake form. I'm not a fan of mayonnaise but it at least makes sense in a savory dish like this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
