    • 1 cup water

    • 1/3 cup buttermilk
    • 1/4 cup cocoa
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


    Instructions


    1. Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, sugar and baking soda in a large mixing bowl; set aside.

    2. Melt butter in a heavy saucepan; stir in cocoa. Add water, buttermilk and eggs, stirring well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils. Add to flour mixture; stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour batter into a greased, floured 13x9 inch baking pan.

    3. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Spread peanut butter on warm cake. Cool completely for 30 minutes. Then spread Chocolate Frosting on top; cut into squares.

    4. Chocolate Frosting: Put powdered sugar in a large bowl. Bring butter, buttermilk and cocoa to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat; stir constantly. Pour cocoa mix over sugar, stirring until smooth. Mix in vanilla.

    5. Be creative with chocolate icing. This creamy topping isn't just for traditional cakes and cupcakes. Spread chocolate frosting between two graham crackers or shortbread cookies for a sweet sandwich a small fix for a late night sweet tooth. Or dip raspberries, strawberries, and cherries into frosting for a quick and easy dessert.
