Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake

Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake

2 c. sugar
2 1/2 c. flour
1/3 c. cocoa
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt

Sift the above together. Add 2 eggs, 1 c. oil, and 1 c. buttermilk and mix well. Add 1 tsp. vanilla and 1 c. of boiling water. Mix and pour in greased and floured jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Frosting:
1/4 c. margarine
1/4 c. cocoa.
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
3 T. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla. Mix and pour over cake three minutes after taking cake from oven.
I usually substitute one cup of milk soured with either vinegar or lemon juice for the cup of buttermilk since I buy buttermilk only when I am making three or four cakes at a time.
