****
In mixer or large bowl:
2 c. sugar
2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
*****
In sauce pan:
1 c. butter
1 c. water
1/2 c. cocoa
****
In separate bowl:
1/2 c. buttermilk
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
****
(Can you tell this is a well loved and cooked often recipe?)
Cook cocoa mixture till boiling. Add to sugar/flour combo to mixer slowly. (COOKS NOTE: In this recipe, it says to put the cocoa in with the water/butter pan. I don't. I mix it in with the flour prior to adding the wet ingredients. It works better for me but I have to make sure that I mix the cocoa into the flour well to make sure that it doesn't get lumpy.)
If you don't have any buttermilk, don't go to the store! Put about a teaspoon of vinegar into your measuring cup and add milk until you have 1/2 cup. Let it sit on the counter while you are mixing your other stuff and vola! Buttermilk. Lemon juice works too.
See how lumpy it gets!
Add buttermilk, then eggs and vanilla.
Pour into two greased 8x8 pans or one 9x13 and bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes. Do not over cook!
Frosting:
1 stick butter
6 tbs. milk
3 1/2 tbs. cocoa
In saucepan cook above three ingredients till boiling. Add 1 box confectioners sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. Pour over cakes.
Sho is tasty, sho is yummy, so is good in every one's tummy!
Enjoy!

K! You have a red Kitchenaid...waaah! Oh, you lucky girl, you.
I'll be trying this cake!
Dave bought it for me a few years ago for Valentines Day- I nearly wet myself. What a wonderful surprise as I would never, ever spend that kind of money on myself-
Let me know how you like the cake and how long it stays on the counter- Around here, not long. :)
Going to try that for sure....i had my own little baking business I used to run out of my house...until working 20 hours a day becasme too much!!! Always looking for new recipes...and I too have a notebook with many stained pages!!! We should swap secrets!
C- Let's do it! Am always ready for a new recipe- especially something easy and different. You should visit Anne (see above) too- She is a not only a sweet heart, but a wiz in the kitchen too :)
