-----CAKE-----
2 c Sugar
2 c Flour
1 t Baking soda
1 c Margarine (2 sticks)
4 ts Cocoa -- generous
1 c -- Water
1/2 c Buttermilk
2 Egg -- beaten
1 pn Salt
-----FROSTING-----
1/2 c Margarine
4 ts Cocoa -- generous
6 ts Buttermilk
1 lb Sugar, confectioners
1 t Vanilla
1 c Nuts -- chopped, or to taste
Cake: In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, flour and soda
together. In a saucepan, melt margarine; stir in cocoa
and water and bring to a boil. Pour hot mixture over
dry ingredients; stir well. Mix in buttermilk, eggs
and salt. Pour into a greased jelly roll pan. Bake at
400 degrees F. for about 15 minutes, until top springs
back when touched.
Frosting: In same saucepan used for cake, melt
margarine. Stir in cocoa and buttermilk and bring to a
rapid boil. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and
vanilla; blend thoroughly. Stir in nuts. Spread over
cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. Be prepared
to clean up some drips.
If there are kids around, let them clean up the drips
~ this frosting is like fudge! The frosting is so good
~ it's almost like the cake exists just to give a base
to the frosting. Mom cuts the frosting recipe down
(about in half) but I like it just the way it is -
lots.
