~ CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE ~

Sift 2 cups flour & 2 cups sugar into a large bowl.

Bring to a boil, 1 stick of Oleo & 1/2 cup shortening, 4 TBLS Cocoa, & 1 cup cold water. Pour hot mixture over flour & sugar and mix well.

Add 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt & 2 whole eggs.

Pour into well greased cookie sheet 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 ( I suggest pampered chef stoneware, makes it really moist.)

Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.

Frosting:
5 minutes before cake is done, bring to boil. 1 stick oleo, 4 TBLS Cocoa, 5 TBLS milk. Remove from heat & add 1 tsp vanilla, 1 cup of nuts & 1 pound of powdered sugar.

Spread over cake.
