Mayonnaise Chocolate Cake

This mayonnaise chocolate cake is so light and delicate and a perfect dessert served with fruit and cream. The mayonnaise is made with egg, oil and lemon juice which are normal ingredients that you would add to any cake batter. It is best to bake in a loose bottomed cake tin because of the delicate nature of this cake and once baked to leave the cake in the tin for 10 minutes before placing onto wire cooling rack. The Tefal Cuisine Companion is used to mix the cake batter and brandy buttercream. I've used a stick blender to quickly make the mayonnaise and I melted the chocolate in the microwave.
