Ingredients

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

Directions

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.

Reviews

the cake was very easy to make, but for the icing you need to use 7tb of evaporated milk instead of 5tb.
