  • FOR THE CAKE:

  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 sticks Butter
  • 1 cup Water
  • 5 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder

Preparation

To make the cake, mix flour and sugar in a large bowl. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, water, and cocoa over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil and pour over the flour/sugar mixture. Mix well. Add eggs, buttermilk, baking soda, and vanilla. Pour into a well-greased 9×13 pan, and bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes.

With 5 minutes of baking time remaining on the cake, make the icing. In a medium saucepan, combine butter, milk, and cocoa and bring mixture to a boil. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar, stirring well with a whisk or wooden spoon until the sugar melts and the mixture is smooth. Stir in vanilla and pecans, then pour over hot cake.

Been making this cake for 40 plus years. Next time you make it: use coffee instead of the water and instead of the nuts, try adding 1/3 C smooth peanut butter to the frosting rightafter the powdere sugar and prior to the vanilla. Soooo good. I also put a teaspoon of instant coffee in the pan with the milk, butter and cocoa sometimes, if I’m not doing the peanut butter.
