I had a couple bottles of mayo in the pantry that I had ordered online during the winter, and which arrived separated. I was refunded and did not have to return the mayo, but did not throw it away because I wanted to see if it was recoverable by using it in a chocolate mayonnaise cake.
Well, today is the day! Cake’s in the oven and I will report back after it is done. This was partly inspired by the peanut butter bread experiment, in which numerous websites and videos said you cannot use natural (not stabilized) peanut butter in that recipe, and which (duh) was of course bullshit. It reminded me of the mayonnaise, so I’m trying it now. I don’t _normally_ like to take a failed ingredient and throw perfectly good additional ingredients at it, but come on, it’s a couple cups of flour, a cup of sugar, some baking potassium, a little cocoa powder and vanilla. I have the time; might as well see if this works.
ETA: It’s almost done, but in the meantime, my daughter’s KTN has already arrived ; we _just_ did the appointment on Friday afternoon, and there were computer problems. I was expecting to have to return and redo something.
ETAYA: Cake with broken mayo is tasty, and has a vote of approval from A. I made this one with half white and half whole wheat and mostly followed this recipe (left the salt out) (cranked up the cocoa powder a bit):
