1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup cold coffee-Yatie guna nescaffe 3in1 bancuh dngn air
1 teaspoon vanilla
Method:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C) and grease two 6″ rounds, two 8″ rounds, or a 9×13″ baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
In another large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, coffee, and vanilla.
Beat in the dry ingredients gradually, scraping down the sides of the bowl often.
Pour the batter into the cake pans and bake 25-35 minutes. Keep an eye on the cake and don’t let it over-bake, otherwise it’ll be dry.

Chocolate buttercream frosting (for a 6″ cake):

1 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup cocoa powder
6-7 cups powdered sugar
To make the frosting:
Cream together the butter and shortening. Gradually beat in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and rum. If the consistency is too stiff, add a dash of milk to thin the icing.
To decorate the cake, first apply a thin layer of frosting to the cake. It should be a little thicker than a normal crumb coat so that you don’t see the colour of the cake underneath. Then, using a 1M decorating tip, work from the inside out to create the roses, piping in circles around the centre point and spanning the side of the cake. Create the roses on top with the same method, making them about the same size as the ones along the sides. Fill in the holes with simple stars or swoops.
