For the Cake:
Preheat the Magic: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Dry Delight: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Creamy Elixir: Add the mayonnaise, water, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
Layered Dreams: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Baking Alchemy: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Cooling Serenade: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
For the Frosting:
Cocoa Creation: Sift the cocoa powder to ensure a smooth blend.
Butter Bliss: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sifted cocoa powder until smooth and creamy.
Sweet Serenade: Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until smooth and creamy.
Assembly:
Base Beginnings: Place one cake layer onto a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of frosting evenly over the top.
Layer Love: Gently place the second cake layer on top of the frosted layer.
Finishing Flourish: Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting, creating swirls or patterns as desired.
