How much mayonnaise do you put in chocolate cake?

When it comes to chocolate cake, there is no one-size-fits-all answer for how much mayonnaise to use. This is because the amount of mayonnaise needed will vary depending on the recipe you are using. For example, if you are making a chocolate cake from scratch, you will likely need 1 cup of water and 1 cup of mayonnaise. If you are using a boxed mix, however, you may only need 1/2 cup of mayonnaise.
