Most of us may need a stiff drink on April 15th, but this cake is loaded with plenty of butter and booze. Consider it a classy alternative to a bottle of vodka.

Just like the much-ballyhooed chocolate blackout cake from Ebinger's in Brooklyn, this one has the same pudding-like filling, the same tender chocolate crumb, and the same rich, rich frosting.

Maionese de leite in Portuguese, milk mayonnaise--you heard us--is a creamy, eggless emulsion held together by oil, milk (natch), and a lotta love.

5 ingredients. 15 minutes. And dinner is done.
