I really suck at baking, but I've got to try this. Maybe I can add it to the list of what I can successfully bake. Thus far, the list has one item: Sacher Torte.

Mayo? Really? What does it come out tasting like?

Yes, mayo. It replaces oil. It doesn't taste like mayo at all. It's a great chocolate cake, moist and sweet. In my friend's mom's recipe, it replaced oil and eggs. The best cake.
