This mayonnaise cake looks like an ordinary chocolate cake, but there's a secret ingredient hiding in the batter that makes it unbelievably moist. It's a one-bowl recipe that's been around since 1937, and it still stops people in their tracks today. Nobody guesses what's in it until you tell them, and by then, they're already asking for seconds.
