Portillos cake crisis!  So, thanks to those who responded to me the other day, and it’s go time.Portillos cake crisis! So, thanks to those who responded to me the other day, and it’s go time. I’m confused. The recipe online calls for only 1 cup of water and the mayo, but the box shows 1. 25 cups and also oil. I assume I’m using only the items online, right?

And it’s Betty Crocker chocolate fudge cake mix. I worked at Portillo’s for 4 years in high school and made a ton of these cakes in my life. Lol

Looks like the Mayo is replacing the oil. Same idea.

Ignore the instructions on the cake mix box. Just use the contents of the box and follow the Portillos recipe.
