Mayo in cake mixture?

[JustBeenNosey]

Morning guys!

So I came across a recipe this morning off good old Facebook which said to replace eggs and butter which MAYO!

I've looked online and seen a recipe for a Chocolate Mayo Cake which has a lot of good reviews saying add more chocolate in but then there are a few reviews that it became crumbly and you could taste the Mayo.

I love baking buns and cakes so I'm very tempted to try this recipe but I hate Mayo so don't wanna bake it and be able to taste it 😩

Has anybody done this before and it has worked or have a recipe I could use?

@MsForestier got to admit.. I do that anyway 🙄😂

@callkiki well I'm trying this out either tomorrow or next week so I will let you know it goes 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I live dangerously too Just

@MsForestier it just had to be done. Especially with the good old standard cake mixture of SR flour, butter sugar and eggs.

I don't think I'll be licking the spoon of the Mayo mixture though 😳🤮

It's just dawned on me that with no raw eggs it is entirely safe to lick the wooden spoon and scrape all the mixture off the sides of the bowl.

Isn't mayo an emulsion of oil and raw egg yolk?

Yes but the commercial types have pasteurised eggs

This thread has got me in the mood for baking. I'm just thinking of making a Christmas cake - but I'll skip the mayo!

@MsForestier I can't really do a Christmas Cake because my mum is a vegi so what we tend to do is a chocolate steamed pudding, in the shape of a Christmas cake.
And then put malteasers allllll around the outside, drizzle some chocolate over the top and then pick some fresh holly from outside so it looks like a Christmas Cake 😀

I've attached a picture if you can see it..

Looks fabulous just! I think it's so nice to do some form of baking for Christmas.

There is a ginger Christmas pudding in GoodHouskeeping mag this month. Their Christmas cake is spiced port and orange. I like a dark cake. I'm going to have to start baking soon.

I used to make puddings but the steaming element drives me mad. Anyway I looooove marzipan

Ginger christmas pudding sounds lovely - I will have to go and see if I can find the recipe!! Thank you @MsForestier.

@MsForestier oooo I'll have a look at that! Thank you!

Correction - it's a gingerbread Christmas pudding. There is a caramel sauce recipe to go with it.

@MsForestier oooo that sounds lovely! I love ginger in cakes and biscuits 😍

Today's the day I try out this recipe!

Wish my luck!

I do bloody hope they taste now after all this build up 😂😂

** wish me luck!

@JannerBird I'm using the recipe you gave me 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@JannerBird should the mixture be kind of.. crumbly?
It doesn't seem to be coming together like a normal mixture 😩😩😩

I have an American (USA) cakes cookery book and lots of the recipes use mayo.

@llangennith have you ever tried it?

I'm doing it now but the mixture is almost crumbly it isn't coming together but I don't know if it's meant to do this or not 😩😩

Sorry no! I bought the book as I wanted to use measuring cups for quantities rather than faffing around with scales. I only use regular recipes. I'm not an expert or fan of baking I'm afraid.

@llangennith no worries!

Thanks anyway!

have you remembered the water?

It should be almost a batter rather than a cake mixture texture

@MsHomeSlice I did afterwards 😂 but then it broke my electric whisk! The handles don't turn properly now!

I won't be doing this again 😂😂
