  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder

Line bottom of baking pan or skillet with parchment paper. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. In large bowl, combine cocoa and chocolate chips.
  2. Heat water in liquid measuring cup in microwave until hot and steaming, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully pour water over chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth. Let mixture cool for 10 minutes.
  3. Add mayonnaise, egg, and vanilla to cooled chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Add flour mixture and use rubber spatula to stir until just combined and no dry flour remains. Use rubber spatula to scrape batter into parchment-lined baking pan and smooth top (make sure to spread batter into corners to create even layer).
