Secret to a Moist Cake

Trick 1

1/4 cup of mayonnaise added to the regular ingredients and mixed up into the batter before baking.

Mayonnaise contains oil (always a necessary item in baking a moist cake), egg whites (known for giving cakes a fluffy lift) and vinegar (a natural preservative).

Trick 2

Add a package of pudding mix

For chocolate cake, you can make your own "pudding mix":

Add 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons baking cocoa, an extra egg, and half a cup of sugar.
