Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups - sugar
- 2 cups - flour
- 1/2 cups - margarine
- 1/2 cups - shortening
- 1 cups - water
- 4 tablespoons - unsweetened cocoa
- 1/2 cups - buttermilk
- 2 - eggs
- 1 teaspoons - baking soda
- 1 teaspoons - salt
- 1 teaspoons - vanilla
- 1 sticks - margarine
- 4 tablespoons - unsweetened cocoa powder
- 6 tablespoons - milk
- 4 cups - powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons - vanilla
- 1 cups - Chopped nuts Optional
Directions:
Sift sugar and flour together.
In a saucepan, combine margarine, shortening, water and cocoa powder; bring to a boil. Pour hot boiled mixture over flour mixture. Add the buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, salt and vanilla, mixing well.
Pour into a greased 11x15-inch baking pan (or two 8x8-inch square pans -- though bakes better as sheet cake). Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
Icing: Combine butter, cocoa, and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the sifted powdered sugar, vanilla and nuts, mixing until smooth. Spread over cake while both the cake and icing are still hot.
Allow to cool before serving.
