Yes! According to the Duncan Hines website, you can use mayonnaise to replace the eggs and oil called for on the box directions. Make a direct substitution of mayo for the oil. You have omitted the eggs, so you might need to add a little more water to get a proper cake batter consistency.

You could use Miracle Whip instead of mayonnaise in a cake recipe, but, Miracle Whip has less fat then regular mayonnaise and it also has added spices such as garlic and paprika.

I have made quite a few myself now over the past 6 years and at present it is my favorite cake on this planet.
