I’ve always heard of cakes being made with mayo or sour cream, but I haven’t tried the mayo one yet. This cake came out really moist and tasted rich. I opted to make cupcakes instead of the cake, because for some strange reason no one likes to cut a slice of cake, but they’ll grab a cupcake in a heart beat. It makes about 2 dozen cupcakes, which I baked for 20 minutes until toothpick tested done. I also used a canned frosting due to being short on time, but I am posting the frosting recipe that came on the card.

We got a sample of this mayonnaise from a food show we recently attended and fell in love with the taste. It’s really creamy and has more flavor then the regular mayonnaise I by, so now needless to say this is our new staple in our house.
