Hellmann’s Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake – Moist, Rich, and Foolproof

Some recipes stand the test of time—and this one is a true classic in my kitchen. I first discovered it as a teen, printed right on a jar of Hellmann’s mayo. Since then, it’s become my family’s all-time favorite chocolate cake. Over the years, my handwritten copy of the recipe has collected its fair share of smudges and cocoa fingerprints—a sure sign of how often I return to it.

What makes it special? Mayonnaise. It sounds strange at first, but don’t let that stop you. Mayo is made of eggs and oil, both of which are essential in cake baking. Instead of adding them separately, this recipe blends them into one secret ingredient that gives the cake an unbelievably moist and tender crumb. It’s easy to make, hard to mess up, and always a crowd-pleaser.

Vintage Rum Cake

In honour of sweet memories and timeless flavors

This cake is a tribute to my parents, whose wedding cake was—of course—a rum cake. My father often reminded me, “They just don’t make them like they used to.” And he was right. This decadent dessert brings back all the nostalgia, the richness, and the celebration that a real rum cake should. Sweet, buttery, and infused with just enough rum to feel special, it's the kind of dessert that turns any Sunday supper or festive gathering into an occasion.
