 Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
      Yield: 10 servings
 
           Cake:
      2 c  All-purpose flour
      2 c  Sugar
      1 c  Margarine
      4 tb Cocoa
      1 c  Cold water
      1 ts Baking soda
      1 ts Vanilla extract
      1 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/2 c  Buttermilk
      2    Eggs
           Frosting:
    1/2 c  Margarine
      5 tb Evaporated milk
      1 c  Pecans; chopped
      4 tb Cocoa
      1 ts Vanilla extract
      1 lb Powdered sugar
 
  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Sift flour and sugar, set
  aside.  In a saucepan, bring the margarine, cocoa and water
  to a boil; remove from heat.  In a large bowl, mix all
  remaining cake ingredients.  Add the flour mixture and
  cocoa mixture, stirring well.  Bake in a greased and
  floured 9x13" pan for 20 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness
  with a clean toothpick. Ten minutes into the baking of the
  cake, prepare the frosting.
  Place the margarine, cocoa, and milk in a saucepan and
  bring to a boil.  Remove from the heat and add the
  remaining ingredients.  Beat until smooth. FROST THE CAKE
  AS SOON AS IT COME OUT OF THE OVEN.
  Let it cool a little before cutting, if you can't possible
  hold out!. This cake is so good, you'd eat it with one foot
  in the fire if you had to.
