Why Do People Add Mayonnaise To Cake?
Mayonnaise contains oil and eggs, both of which are fat. Adding mayonnaise to your cake will give it a rich texture and flavor.
A lot of vanilla mayonnaise cake recipes call for sour cream because it adds a tangy flavor to the cake batter, but I like to use plain yogurt instead of sour cream as it’s healthier and not as heavy.
What Makes Cake Fluffy And Soft?
Whiskies are your best friend if you want your cake to be fluffy and soft. You can use an electric whisk for this recipe, but any whisk will do.
When you make a batter, you want to whisk it in the beginning just until it comes together, then let it sit while you prepare everything else.
If you keep whisking, the mayonnaise will start to break down, making it thinner and runny. Then again, just before baking, give it one last light whisk to fluff them up.
How Much Mayonnaise Do You Add To A Cake Mix?
This recipe uses 1 1/2 cups of mayonnaise and about 2 ounces. The amount will vary depending on your taste, but you can always add more.
Use a light hand when adding the mayo to the batter, as you don’t want it too thick.
Can Vanilla Mayonnaise Cake Recipe Be Stored In The Freezer?
Yes, you can freeze the vanilla mayonnaise cake recipe. Just wrap the cake tightly in plastic and then place it in a freezer bag, or place it into an air-tight container and freeze.
Let it thaw before you plan on eating it. I store my vanilla mayonnaise cake recipe in the refrigerator because that is what I prefer to eat it.
