SALAD DRESSING
SALAD DRESSING (Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise) CAKE
Although my niece, Nikki Bazzani Wendelin probably doesn't remember it, she LOVED this cake when she was small -- she always begged me to make it and I did many times, including once for her birthday. I have no idea, though where the recipe came from.
2 C. Flour
4 T. Cocoa
1 1/2 C. Sugar
2 tsp. Soda.
Sift together 3 times. Add to following mixture:
1 C. Miracle Whip
1 C. Warm Water
1 tsp. vanilla.
Bake 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes. I iced this (most of the time) with boughten (white) Icing but don't tell Nikki -- hey, the CAKE part was homemade!!! Recently, I made the icing on the Cocoa box - it was GREAT.
My grandson, AJ, voted it the best ever chocolate cake he'd tasted and he LOVES chocolate Cake. However, a week or so later, when I said something about the Mayonnaise cake he about choked as he HATES mayonnaise. Today, though (March 21, 2010) he asked me to make it for him : Guess he doesn't care as long as it's great!
2016 -- AJ won't eat the Salad Dressing cake anymore so I use the cake recipe on the Hershey's cocoa as well as the icing recipe. This is delic but have to admit the one on the coca is better.
