			This is a GREAT recipe ~ great for a good number of people and VERY easy!  I can't tell You how many times I've made this cake and it is requested often.....You cannot miss with this one!  And if You love chocolate, You'll be in heaven!   CAKE: 1 stick butter 1/2 c. Wesson oil (or something like that) 4 T. cocoa 1 C. water 2 C. sugar 2 C. sifted flour 1/2 C. buttermilk (if You're not a b'milk fan, You can make Your own with 1/2 c of milk with a capfull of vinegar....really!) 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt Preheat oven 375. Put butter, oil, cocoa & water in a saucepan & bring to a rapid boil. Combine flour & sugar in a mixing bowl & pour hot mix over this. Blend remaining ingredients well & add to previous mixture. Blend & pour in a large greased 11x16" jelly roll pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Test for doneness. Prepare icing the last 5 minutes of baking time. ICING: 1 stick butter 4 T cocoa 6 T milk 1 box powdered sugar 1 C. coarsely chopped pecans Mix butter, cocoa and milk in saucepan and bring to a boil. Add powdered sugar and stir well. Spread hot icing on hot cake as it comes from the oven. Spread to the edges quickly before it hardens. Sprinkle nuts over the top. YUM! |
