Servings: 8 servings
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup 100% pure cocoa
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup water

Whisk together flour, baking soda, sugar, and cocoa. In another bowl whisk together the vanilla extract, water, and mayonnaise until it looks like milk. Pour mayonnaise mixture into flour mixture and mix well with a spoon. (Could use mixer, too). Fold in nuts. Pour into a well-sprayed bundt pan.

Let cool about 10 to 12 minutes before removing from pan. (You could also add chocolate chips to this cake). Frost with your favorite icing or sprinkle with powdered sugar.
