Mayo Cake

1 8oz pkg cake mix
1 egg
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup mayo
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Preheat 350
Beat all ingredients on low until blended; then beat on medium 2 minutes, scraping sides occasionally. 
Bake 25 minutes if baking in 8" round pan or until toothpick comes out clean.

This is supposed to be a super moist cake.  This is one of those...recipes that don't always work out, but perhaps you'll like it.  Super easy to make but I didn't much like it.  Will have to investigate further as to why not.  I used a Jiffy cake mix as they are small and I'm only one person.  Did I not like it because I don't like Jiffy (will have to make a Jiffy cake by itself and see).  Did I not like it because of the cinnamon?  This is what I think the problem was.  Did I not like the mayo (can't imagine it added flavor though).  Or did I simply not like it because it was yellow and not chocolate? =)  I'm a pie person more than a cake person but I was in the mood for cake when I made this. Shared half of it and the response I got was the first bite was dry...hmmmmmm...but that it had good flavor.  I disagreed. Glad I didn't dress it up cuz I ended up throwing the rest out.  Just because I didn't like it doesn't mean you won't.  Give it a whirl.  Let me know your results!
