Recipe: Grandma Doris’ Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake & Peanut Butter Frosting

Grandma Doris makes an amazing Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake with Peanut Butter frosting!  Although it sounds interesting the cake is moist, delicious, and easy to make.  It was one of the first cakes I made as a kid. When Grandma Doris made this cake for dinner and family Holidays there was rarely ever any cake left by the end of the meal.
