Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker devil's food cake
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup ice cold water
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cans Betty Crocker chocolate frosting

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease (2) nine inch cake pans.
  • In the bowl of your mixer, combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and mayo on low speed for 30 seconds, then mix on high for about 4 minutes.
  • Split the batter evenly between the two cake pans.
  • Place in the oven for about 30-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to rest for about 5 minutes, then transfer them out of the pans and onto wire cooling racks to cool for about an hour.
  • Place one of the cakes on a plate and spread about 3/4 of one jar of frosting on the top of the cake. Place the second cake on top and use the remaining frosting (1 1/4 jars) to coat the top of the cake and the sides.
