| 1/2 | cup | buttermilk | |
| 2 | cups | flour, all-purpose | |
| 2 | large | eggs | |
| 2 | cups | sugar | |
| 1 | cup | butter | or margarine |
| 4 | tablespoons | cocoa powder | |
| 1 | cup | water | cold |
| 1 | cup | pecans | chopped |
| 1 | teaspoon | baking soda | |
| 1 | teaspoon | vanilla extract | |
| 1 | teaspoon | cinnamon | ground |
| 1/4 | teaspoon | salt | |
| 1/2 | cup | butter | |
| 4 | tablespoons | cocoa powder | |
| 5 | tablespoons | evaporated milk | |
| 1 | teaspoon | vanilla extract | |
| 1 | pound | 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 possibly hold out! This cake is so good, you'd eat it with one foot in the fire if you had to.

This recipe was excellent. The whole family enjoyed it very much. It wasn't long before it was all eaten up. I will definitely make it again and pass it on.
