Bring on the Mayo
Rachel's Bite made a chocolate-mayonnaise cupcake with butterscotch buttercream frosting this past weekend that looks amazing. Why mayo, you ask? Mayonnaise by definition is an emulsion of lemon juice mixed with egg yolk or vinegar, and thus adds more texture as an ingredient. While we're used to mayo being a part of a batch of chicken salad, it's far more versatile than we think; I found one cake recipe where mayo was used instead of butter and eggs!
