Texas Cake

We got this recipe from a very special family. If you aren't a cake lover, trust me even you will enjoy this recipe! It's a little bit like brownies but lighter, with frosting. Enjoy! KJV.

2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
A pinch of salt

Mix in a bowl and set aside.

In a pan on the stove:

1 cup water
4 TBLS unsweetened Cocoa
1 cup butter or margarine

Bring to boil. Pour over flour and sugar mixture, and beat well. (This is the best stage for sampling the batter!)

Add 2 eggs
1/2 cup butter milk or 1/2 cup milk with a little vinegar.
1 tsp. Baking Soda

Mix well. Pour in a greased sided cookie sheet (or a pan the same size). Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
