Light Version Chocolate Cinnamon Mayo Cake image

I got this recipe from a co-worker back in 1970. She brought this to a pot-luck, but didn't tell the men it was made with mayo for fear they wouldn't eat it. Well, it was a big hit and it still is! I've made modifications over the years, but it is still a really good and easy cake. I still haven't figured out a way to make the frosting without using real powdered sugar, tho.
