    Edit: Ok I have never had so much activity on a RUclips comment...yes ok I checked a jar of mayo and while it does not have mustard or “spices” as some commenters have claimed it does have some lemon and vinegar. However those ARE sometimes also used in cake, you can add them to the milk to make “soured milk” which approximates buttermilk, I have done this with many cakes. So I still maintain that regular mayo is not at all weird to use when making a cake.

    when I went to order the cake shake, there were only two sizes. Small and Large, I said I wanted medium and the woman replied ' we dont have a medium, you can get a small, out small is as big as a medium' then I remembered which country Im in right now. Tastes amazing. The cake is very fluffy, moist and melts in your mouth. It would be better if they put a bit less of that icing or atleast put less sugar in the icing

      Nipun sharma
      Because you’re incorporating more oils and fats into it, which won’t evaporate so it’s more moist. I think it’s more normal to just add veg oil or more butter, but mayo and sour cream might give it an extra...or different, something to the taste.

    • @aloha8827
      @aloha8827 4 года назад +37

      Nipun sharma the base of mayo is really just egg and oil whipped together so adding to a cake really just helps to keep the cake’s structure, moistness, and etc and sour cream is more like thick buttermilk which adds some liquid but acidic for a soft texture plus a lil more fat or the cake is dry

    Even if I didn't see them pouring the cake base in from a type of box cake, it is almost impossible and highly impractical to replicate the smooth sheen of a finished, set box cake cake. They also admit to using regular frosting as well.
    What you get is quite replicable in your home kitchen, but I've no doubt their years of dedicated experience have perfected the art.

Portillo’s cake is just doctored box mix they use mayo and they use canned frosting. The cake you bake off of the Hersey’s special dark cocoa container is far better and more flavorful with the same really moist texture try it.
