FOOTNOTE


Editor's Note: Light or low-fat mayonnaise should not be substituted for regular mayonnaise in this recipe.



sounds nasty...
It may sound gross to those who don't know that mayo is made from whipped eggs and oil- very common recipes in cakes. My grandmother made this, and I substitute mayo for eggs and oil in lots of recipes- makes them moist and delicious- brownies are great with mayo. You have to use Hellmans, or Best Foods mayo, though, the rest dont compare.
