saw this commercial and it just grossed me out

lol!

actually -- mayo in a cake and grape jelly on meatballs are both delicious.

DH's fave cake is a mayo one. Mayo is just eggs, water and oil. It makes the cake super moist.

And grape jelly just gives the meatballs a sweet kick -- which you add other things to make it sweet tangy.

But...it also does sound gross.

Yes, it seems weird to me too. But if you think what mayo consists of, some of the traditional ingredients are pretty ok (egg yolks and oil), some seem tolerable (lemon juice or vinegar, pepper, salt), while some of them seem very strange to put in a cake (mustard). It all depends what the actual mayo is made of, I guess, but I'm with you. :-)

OK, so I took a look at the list of ingredients in that particular one (soybean oil, eggs, water, distilled and cider vinegar, salt, oleoresin paprika, natural flavors, calcium disodium EDTA added to protect flavor), and no, I wouldn't put that in a cake. :-D

That sounds pretty normal to me, though I don't do it. Weight Watchers has a chocolate cake recipe you put sauerkraut in and ppl swear by it. LOL

It does sound gross to me, but I know it makes for an awesome cake lol... only cause my Nana would make stuff like that when I was little. Omg! Yumm!

It sounds weird, but I'm sure it taste delish. I'm a cake-a-holic so my mouth is watering by watching that commercial

I like cake to and most people hate my favorite which is coconut. I love coconut in the cake and in the frosting. Just plain old vanilla fristing with coconut. I guess some people would think Im weird too LOL. And Traci I really dislike saurkraut....cant get over the smell. I went to my mother in laws like two days after she cooked it and had to leave pretty quickly cause the smell makes me nauseous
