• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup mayonnaise

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

3. Add eggs, mayonnaise, milk, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract to the dry ingredients.
4. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

9. Transfer the cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
11. Add powdered sugar and peppermint extract to the whipped cream.
12. Optional: Add a few drops of green food coloring to the whipped cream for a minty green look.
13. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of the whipped cream on top.
14. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream.
15. Garnish with chocolate shavings for an elegant touch.
16. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
17. Slice and enjoy the moist and decadent Chocolate Mint Mayonnaise Cake!
