    Source of Recipe


    Aunt Saunny

    2 cups sugar
    2 cups flour
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp ground cinnamon
    1 cup water
    1 stick margarine
    1/2 cup oil
    4 tblsp Hershey's Cocoa
    1/2 cup buttermilk
    2 eggs, beaten
    1 tsp vanilla

    Sift together the sugar, flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. Set aside. In a saucepan, place water, margarine, oil, and cocoa. Bring to a boil and pour over dry ingredients. Mix well.

    Mix together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Add to chocolate batter. Mix well. Pour into a greased and floured 13x9 pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Start frosting 5 minutes before cake is done.

    CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING

    1 stick margarine
    4 tblsp Hershey's cocoa
    6 tblsp milk
    1 pound confectioners sugar
    1 tsp vanilla
    1 cup (or more) chopped pecans

    Place margarine, cocoa, and milk in saucepan and bring to a boil. Be careful not to burn. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and pecans. Mix well.

    As soon as you take the cake from the oven, poke holes in it and spread the frosting on the hot cake. Serve from pan.

    BONUS: Using the Chocolate Fudge Frosting recipe above, add just 4 tblsp of milk instead of 6. Follow directions as given. Pour into a buttered 8 or 9 inch square pan. Some of the best Fudge there is and it's fool proof.
