Description

Warm, tender Vanilla Mayonnaise Cake with a cozy vanilla scent, perfect for family desserts.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240 g) mayonnaise (regular or light)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup (160 ml) milk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • For the simple glaze (optional):
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8- or 9-inch round pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth and slightly glossy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mix. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
  6. Bake 28–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  8. To make the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake and let set for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for even mixing. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
