Cream together:
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
Add: 1 cup buttermilk
Sift together, then add:
1/2 cup cocoa
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 t. salt
Just before putting in oven, add:
1 scant cup boiling water
2 t. baking soda
Bake in cookie sheet at 350 for about 30 min or less until it tests done. (Her instructions were for a longer time, but I find around 25 min about right for this amount of batter in a cookie sheet.)
She included this frosting recipe to go with the cake, but says she likes to use the alternate Chocolate Fudge recipe that follows it.
Frosting:
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 square baking chocolate
4 T cream
Stir while cooking 5 minutes till soft ball stage. Add: 1/2 t. vanilla. Spread on cake while hot.
Chocolate Fudge:
2 c. sugar
1 c. cream
2 T. light Karo
dash of salt
1 square unsweetened baking chocolate
1 t. vanilla
Combine ingredients. Turn burner to high, stir until it boils. Take spoon out, insert thermometer and reduce heat to med low. Cook fudge to 228 degrees. Remove thermometer, remove pan from stove to cool. Do not disturb until cool. Beat until no longer glossy. Spread on cake.

I haven't figured out how to edit once these are posted. That should say "boiling water" instead of "boining."
