Texas Sheet Cake

Cake:

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup water
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, unbeaten
1 tsp soda
1 tsp vanilla

Sift together the flour and sugar, set aside. In a pan, measure the butter, water, and cocoa and boil together to a good boil. Add flour mixture and stir well. Then in a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and stir well. Add to flour mixture. Pour on a large cookie sheet, bake at 375 for 15 minutes.

Frosting:

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup cocoa
6 Tbsp milk

(I stir the milk and the cocoa together first and then add the butter. It avoids lumps of chocolate in the frosting.)

Boil all for about 1 minute stirring constantly. Cool. Add about 1 lb. powdered sugar and 1 tsp.vanilla. Stir and then frost cake.
