 Categories: Desserts, Texas
      Yield: 1 Cake
 
MMMMM----------------------------CAKE---------------------------------
    1/2 lb Butter
    1/4 lb Shortening
      4 tb Cocoa
      1 c  Water
      1 ts Vanilla
      1 ts Baking soda
    1/2 c  Buttermilk
      2 c  Flour
      2 c  Sugar
      2    Eggs

MMMMM--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Butter
      4 tb Cocoa
      6 tb Milk
      1 lb Powdered sugar
      1 ts Vanilla; or to taste
 
  Mix together flour, sugar and baking soda in large bowl. Set aside.
  Whisk eggs in small bowl and set aside. Melt and bring to a boil all
  other cake ingredients. Pour melted ingredients over dry ingredients
  in the bowl, then add eggs. Pour into greased and floured sheet cake
  pan. Bake at 400°F for 12 to 20 minutes depending on the depth of
  your cake pan.
  
  While cake is baking, bring butter, cocoa and milk to a boil. Turn
  heat down to low. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, beat very very
  smooth. Pour onto hot cake, spread quickly and gently, let cool. You
  may use margarine in the cake, but not in the icing. I often use
  leftover buttermilk in the icing as well instead of regular milk.
