My Aunt Willie called it CHOCOLATE SHEATH CAKE. It is really easy.
Mix together:
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
In a sauce pan, mix:
2 sitcks butter
4 Tablespoons cocoa
1 cup hot water
Bring this mixture to a boil and pour into dry ingredients. Then add:
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk, to which 1 teaspoon of baking soda has been added
Mix again and pour into a greased & floured sheet pan, which are normally a pan about 10x15 inches.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
Five minutes before cake is done, mix:
1 stick butter
4 Tablespoons cocoa
6 Tablespoons milk
Bring this to a boil and then add to 1 box powdered sugar.
Add
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts
Take cake from oven and pour hot frosting over hot cake. Do not cover, until completely cool because cake will sweat.
