Ingredients
- 2 c. Sugar
- 2 c. Flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 c. Margarine (2 sticks)
- 4 tsp Cocoa, generous
- 1 c. ,Water
- 1/2 c. Buttermilk
- 2 x Egg, beaten
- 1 pch Salt
- 1/2 c. Margarine
- 4 tsp Cocoa, generous

Directions
- Cake: In a mixing bowl, mix sugar, flour and soda together. In a saucepan, heat margarine; stir in cocoa and water and bring to a boil. Pour warm mix over dry ingredients; stir well. Fold in buttermilk, Large eggs and salt.
- Pour into a greased jelly roll pan. Bake at 400 degrees F. for about 15 min, till top springs back when touched.
- Frosting: In same saucepan used for cake, heat 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.
