This vintage chocolate cake recipe calls for Miracle Whip, and it’s incredibly moist with a rich chocolatey taste!

This post is all about how to make homemade Miracle Whip Cake.
This old-fashioned Miracle Whip Cake is a recipe you might be familiar with, but maybe not. One of the cake’s main ingredients is mayonnaise (hence the name), and before you scrunch your face, you must try at least one bite!
It’s insanely moist, and the cocoa component adds a rich and unforgettable chocolate taste. I topped my cake with cream cheese frosting, which added a to-die-for creamy effect. If you’re not a cream cheese fan, don’t worry; the cake can complement almost any frosting flavor.
P.S. This dessert recipe can be thrown together quickly, and I bet you already have most of the ingredients. Enjoy!

How To Make Miracle Whip Cake, Step-By-Step

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan and set aside.
