Intrigued by the use of mayo I tried out this cake but am sorry to say I didn't like the result at all. The smell and taste of the mayonaise did not merge with the other flavors like I expected. I froze some of it (that sometimes works wonders) but when reheated in the microwave it had the same distinct odor and taste: mayo.
