This recipe came from Maya Eyler, a cook who worked for me at Daniel. I don’t remember the story behind it, but I think it was a family recipe—which makes sense. It’s an old-style cake, using mayonnaise to ensure moistness. I make it as a sheet cake and use it as a component in several desserts. Baked in a cake pan for a little longer and layered with ganache or frosting, it could become a birthday cake, though.
