Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake

I know what you're thinking!  Mayonnaise...in a cake?  Gross!  Take a moment to think about it though.  What is mayonnaise?  It's just eggs and oil and a few other ingredients.  The cake comes out super moist and delicious!  My mother-in-law made me one for my birthday and I'm hooked!  Here is her recipe:
