Ingredients:  
¼ C Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (Dutch processed or natural)
¼ Chocolate Chips
¾ C Boiling water, coffee or Earl Grey Tea
1 ½ C All-Purpose Flour
1 ½ Tsp. Baking Soda
¾ C Sugar
2/3 C Mayonnaise
¼ Tsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract or Bourbon
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 or 9-inch cake pan and line the pan with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches of overhang on two of the side to act as ‘handles’ (this is optional but helps the cake come out of the pan).

Put the cocoa powder and chocolate chips in a large bowl and pour the boiling liquid over it. Let sit until the chocolate melts, about 3 minutes. Whisk well.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda and set aside.

Whisk the sugar, mayonnaise and salt into the cocoa mixture, then whisk in the flour mixture, whisking vigorously until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla extract or Bourbon.

Scrape the batter into the cake pan. Bake until the top of the cake springs back when lightly pressed, 25-40 minutes. The smaller the pan (which means the deeper the batter), the more time it will take to bake.

Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Run a small spatula or butter knife around the edges of the pan to release the cake, then unmold it.

Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
