THE ULTIMATE CHOCOLATE CAKE

The Ultimate Chocolate Cake image

So, moist, so chocolatey a cake lover's dream. Creamy-smooth Hellmann's mayonnaise replaces the shortening to add the ultimate in moistness. Rich Hershey's cocoa adds the ultimate in deep chocolatey flavor. I found this recipe in Family Circle magazine. I have not tried this recipe.
