2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup water
3 tablespoons cocoa Mix
2 eggs
1 teaspoon soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup margarine
3 tablespoons cocoa
6 tablespoons mill
1 pound sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup nutmeats

Mix flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. In a pan melt margarine, water and cocoa. Bring to a boil, pour over the mixture in bowl. Beat 2 eggs well. Add soda, buttermilk and vanilla. Beat well and add to mix in bowl. Mix. Pour into greased and floured jelly roll pan and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. 5 minutes before cake is done - melt margarine, cocoa and milk over low heat (do not boil). Remove from heat and add powdered sugar, vanilla and nut meats. Mix well and pour over warm cake.

Nana makes this for our summer family vacations. She makes a huge tray each time and it does not take long for it to be devoured by our family. I'll have to ask her what nutmeats are!
