Ingredients

FOR THE CAKE:

1 Stick Butter

1/2 Cup Shortening

4 Tbsp. Cocoa

1 Cup Water

1/2 Cup Buttermilk

2 Cups Flour

2 Cups Sugar

2 Eggs, beaten

1 Tsp. Baking Soda

1 Tsp. Vanilla

1 Tsp. Cinnamon (or more, to taste)

FOR THE FROSTING:

1 Stick Butter

3 to 4 Tbsp. Cocoa (to taste, I like the full 4)

6 Tbsp. Milk

1 Box Powdered (Confectioner's) Sugar

1 Tsp. Vanilla

1/2 to 1 Cup Pecans (optional)

Directions

FOR THE CAKE:

Bring to boil the butter, shortening, cocoa, water and buttermilk.

Remove from heat.

Add the flour, sugar, eggs, soda, cinnamon and vanilla.

Pour into a 11X16 pan.

Bake at 375-400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

FOR THE FROSTING:

Bring to boil the butter, cocoa and milk.

Add the sugar, vanilla and pecans, stirring well.

Pour the frosting over the baked cake after the cake has cooled for about 10-15 minutes.

After the frosting is cool, serve and enjoy!

*This cake is great with a side of cinnamon ice cream. Butter Pecan ice cream works well too, as does vanilla.

It is really simple, hard to mess up, and very delicious. Best of all, it is made with pretty common ingredients that are always around my house (no extra grocery store trips!)
