MOMS BUTTERMILK CAKE

Steps:

• 1. mix sugar and flour in a large bowl
• 2. heat the butter, cocoa powder and water over low heat until well mixed, pour over dry ingredients
• 3. Mix extra well
• 4. add next five (5) ingredients mixing well after each item-this batter gets stiff and then loosens up a little-blew up a mixer making 6 of these for my nieces wedding.
• 5. pour into a greased an floured pan-I use 11 x 13 inch glass pan-and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
• 6. While the cake is baking melt the butter, cocoa powder, buttermilk and vanilla in a pan on the stove-use the one you used originally why clean more than one pan?
• 7. Mix in powdered sugar until thick.
• 8. Once cake is done poke it with a knife or fork ALL OVER-mom said if you don't get enough holes the cake is no good-While cake and frosting are still hot pour frosting over cake.
• 9. Leave cake and all in the pan until halfway cool-that is usually when I give in because the kids have whined so much-cut and serve. I like it warm with ice cream on it.
