Instructions
For The Cake
Preheat oven to 350˚F.
Butter and flour two 8-inch cake pans or springform pans; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa. Stir in the sugar and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, eggs, vanilla, kahlua, and water.
Pour the mayonnaise mixture into the flour mixture and stir together until just combined.
Divide batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove from oven and put the cake pans on cooling racks, and cool for 15 minutes before removing the cakes from the pans to cool completely on the cooling racks.
For The Frosting
Combine chilled heavy cream, sugar, cocoa, and Kahlua in your mixer's bowl.
Beat the mixture until stiff peaks form.
Assemble The Cake
If your cake layers have a dome, you can slice the domed section off using a serrated knife.
Spoon a tablespoon of frosting in the center of your cake platter to act as glue and place one cake layer on top.
Spoon some of the frosting onto the center of the first layer and spread around.
Set the top layer over and spread more frosting over the top and around the sides.
