Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcakes with their deep dark chocolate flavor always put a smile or a funny face on someone and my family is no exclusion!
This week has been a week for vacations, family, food, fun and lots and lots of love.....but most of all....(and I am taking a chance here because some people might not love me anymore after this!)
It has been a week of...........
FACES
Funny Faces
(and yes, even the doggies were making them!)
and if my Nanny were here
I'm pretty darn sure she would be joining in on the fun! What is it about sticking your tounge out for photos? 🙂 Yeah, I have done it too. I just couldn't find one with me sticking my tongue out. So if any of you who are mad at me for putting this up here has one, send it to me. I'll share!
Nanny's Mayonnaise Cake recipe - turned into cupcakes - frosted with buttercream - and 48 of them devoured over 3 days. Yummy! Yes, Matthew (my first photo) seemed to think so too. He devoured several of them (unfrosted at that!). Nanny would be so proud.
and while you can't see the crumbs on his face here I wanted to include Austin - who stole the last cupcake with peanut butter frosting. It must be a family thing to be loving Nanny's recipe!

LOVE that you transformed this classic recipe into cupcakes! I'll have to pull out the mayo and make them for the chocoholics around here!

I really need to try a mayonnaise cake sometime soon! These cupcakes look great!
Jessie
ohhhh I've had cake with mayo before, it is so good! Mayo makes the cake extra moist too I can see why it was gone within days

Loved the funny faces! Tons of fun. The cupcakes look wonderful.
Judy
Wow, those cupcakes look really good. I've never heard of baking w/ mayo before! The cake must be very moist. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

Love the cake, and it brings back wonderful memories. My grandmother regularly made mayonnaise cake decades ago, which we grand-kids used to gobble up in no time. And love the photos too, particularly the one of Grumpy, whom I've been curious about for ages but haven't actually seen before. He looks young, handsome, and not at all grumpy. Many thanks for this fun post.

I remember making a mayo cake way back when to surprise my family. I love the thought of making that into cupcakes (and I'd probably stick my face into them too!)

I remember mayo cake from way back when. I know it was supposed to be great cake. I'll have to remember that next time I make chocolate cupcakes.
