In a saucepan, melt:

2 sticks butter

Add 4 heaping tablespoons cocoa.

Stir together.

Add 1 cup boiling water, allow mixture to boil for 30 seconds, then turn off heat.

Pour over flour mixture, and stir lightly to cool.

In measuring cup, pour 1/2 cup buttermilk. (if you don't have the 1/2 buttermilk, pour almost 1/2 regular milk, then pour in white vinegar the rest of the way to make a 1/2 C.)

2 beaten eggs

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla

Stir buttermilk mixture into butter/chocolate mixture.

Pour into sheet cake pan and bake at 350-degrees for 20 minutes.

1 teaspoon vanilla

My boys Love this cake. I could literally eat this whole cake MYSELF, if I wouldn't hate myself in the morning... So, enjoy. And try NOT to eat it all yourself, cake is made for sharin', after all. ***BTW- we're not doing anything tonight, so we can come over if you have cake...
