Mayo Cake Hack: Viral Baking Trend Tested

Mayo Cake Mix Hack: Does It Work? A recent viral video shows a surprising baking hack: replacing eggs and oil in a cake mix with mayonnaise. Two home bakers tested this unusual recipe, creating three cakes – a standard chocolate cake and two vanilla cakes, one with and one without mayonnaise. While the mayonnaise cake was noticeably more tender, it lacked the structure of the standard recipe. One baker commented, "The mayonnaise cake is richer and creamier, but it's a bit less firm." The experiment demonstrates a trade-off between texture and structure when using this unconventional ingredient. The video's popularity suggests that many are curious about this unusual approach to baking.
