Foot in The Fire - Chocolate Cake

Directions

Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃). 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 9×13 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.
