Chocolate Sheet Cake

List of Ingredients




2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup butter or margarine
4 Tbsp. Cocoa
1 cup water
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/3 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Icing:

1/2 cup butter
3 Tbsp. Cocoa
6 Tbsp. whole milk
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Recipe



Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Sift together flour and sugar. Set aside. Heat butter, cocoa and water in saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, baking soda, eggs, cinnamon, salt and vanilla. Combine the flour-sugar with the buttermilk mixture. Then add the butter-cocoa mixture, stirring well. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 400 F for 25 to 30 minutes. For the icing, heat the butter with the cocoa and milk until the mixture boils. Stir. Beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla until icing is smooth. Remove cake from oven. Cool 5 minutes. Pour the icing over cake while still hot. Chill until icing firms. Garnish with orange slices, if desired.
