Cake
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups of flour, 2 cups of sugar, and 1/2 tsp of salt.
Bring to a boil, 2 sticks of butter, 4 T of Cocoa, and 1 C of water. Keep stirring so the cocoa doesn’t burn.
Pour the combined liquids into the flour mixture. Mix.
Add 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 tsp of baking soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, & 1 tablespoon of Vanilla. Beat well.
Pour combined mixture in 9 x 13 cake pan.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes.
Frosting
While the cake bakes, bring the top 4 frosting ingredients to a boil.
Remove from Heat. Add in 1 lb of powdered sugar about 1/4 lb at a time.
Beat well and pour over the cake hot out of the oven.
An option that is widely popular is mixing chopped pecans or walnut into the frosting before pouring it on the cake.
