This is from a famous Hot Dog Restaurant in Chicago - Portillo's. They have an AWESOME chocolate cake. Does any one know their recipe? I once heard a rumor that the "secret ingredient" was mayonnaise. Anyone ever heard of a similar chocolate cake recipe?

I googled chocolate mayonnaise cake, and got a bunch of different recipes. Here's one http://southernfood.about.com/od/chocolatecakes/r/bl01018a.htm

Thanks for the recipe, Jen. I'll try it! (If it's half as good as Portillo's it'll be awesome!)

Your welcome! I've never tried it, but my mil has and she says is delicious. I just can't bring myself to eat cake with mayo in it, LOL. I have a very weak tummy, LOL.
