Chocolate Coconut Mayonaisse Cake with Nutella Frosting

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 3 tbsp baking cocoa
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 tsp coconut extract
Place the sugar, mayo, water and coconut into a large mixing bowl. Blend on low speed for 30 seconds. Add in the other ingredients and mix on low until blended, scraping sides of bowl as needed. Pour batter into a greased and floured 13x9 baking pan and bake on 350 for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Cool completely before frosting.

For the frosting I used:
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp coconut extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp of milk
Mix the Nutella, extracts and 1 tbsp of milk until smooth. Add the powdered sugar a bit at a time until creamy. Adjust milk as needed to gain desired consistency.

Top with a bit of toasted coconut.
