These chocolate cupcakes, are the moistest cupcakes you will ever taste.
They are easy to make and I love to top these with ganache rose.

These look absolutely amazing! I have heard of mayonnaise in cakes before but I’ve never tried it, so i think now is the time. I can’t wait, i am a total chocoholic.
Hope you love it as much as I do,
Best, chocolate cakes ever. I tested many over the past weeks and these were by far, the most moist, flavoursome and consistently delicious. I was very sceptical about the mayonnaise but my doubts were quickly quashed once I did the taste test. Fantastic!!!!!!
yeah so happy you liked it, i know it seems so strange with mayones, but how delicious and moist these are when you use it! Thanks for the feedback, appriciate it so much

Veg mayo wI’ll work ot not?
And what king of any u hv used. ?
I made these last night, shared them with 15 different people and they all loved them! Highly recommend these – the ganache is so delicious and smooth. Quick tip for anyone trying the recipe: taste test your mayonnaise to check how salty it is. (Mine was very salty- I shouldn’t have added the 1tsp of salt). Thanks Manuela for a great recipe!
