Hi. Here's a delicious cake recipe that I found in a really old cookbook (1962-1963). It's very easy and economical to make. It reminds me of the chocolate cake you used to get in elementary school. I couldn't believe it! You might want to make up a different name for it though. When I first saw the name of the recipe, my nose crinkled and it didn't sound very good to me. Much to my surprise, it was absolutely fabulous! (I only used a little less than 1 cup of mayonnaise. I couldn't bring myself to put in the whole 1-1/2 cups. hahaha *s*) The "icing" is great, too, and very easy! (I used buttermilk instead of evaporated milk.)
This is a great site. Keep up the good work! Thanks. Cathy *s*
MAYONNAISE CAKE
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/2 cups mayonnaise or miracle whip
1-1/2 cups water
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking soda
6 tablespoons cocoa
Pinch of salt
Quick chocolate icing
Beat together sugar, mayonnaise, water and vanilla until well blended. Sift together dry ingredients and fold into mixture. Batter will be quite thin. Pour into greased and floured 9x13-inch pan. Bake in 350-degree oven 35-40 minutes. ICING: Combine 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar, 1/4 lb margarine, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon maple extract or 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 4 tablespoons cocoa, and 3 tablespoons evaporated milk. Beat with electric beater 10 minutes. Cake may be decorated with chopped nuts or flaked coconut. -- Mrs. John C. Ustach.

Hi Robin,
I am a cook in the Submarine force of the United States Navy. One of the best liked cookies that we bake while at sea is the "Crisp Toffee Bars". We have about 150 men onboard and usually end up making about 400 portions to satisfy their appetites. I am sending the recipe for you. Try these and serve them with the knowledge that the United States Submarine Community loves them and would probably not know what to do if we stopped baking them.
Enjoy! - Mark Adams 5/25/98
