Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcakes
"These Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcakes are an old-school Southern favorite, with mayonnaise taking the place of the butter and eggs and giving them a moist and fluffy texture. Then, slather them with a rich, peanut butter cream cheese frosting for a decadent finish. If you're rolling your eyes at this recipe right now, don't worry. These vintage cupcakes do not taste like mayonnaise. During the Great Depression when eggs and butter were scarce, mayonnaise stepped up to the plate as the perfect substitute. This is a basic chocolate cupcake recipe that uses common pantry staples with mayonnaise replacing the oil and eggs that you find in a traditional chocolate cupcake recipe, without altering the flavor at all."
