Measure	Ingredient
½ cup	Buttermilk
2 cups	All-purpose flour
2	Eggs
2 cups	Sugar
	Ingredients-
1 cup	Margarine
½ cup	Margarine
4 tablespoons	Cocoa
5 tablespoons	Evaporated milk
1 cup	Cold water
1 cup	Pecans; chopped
1 teaspoon	Baking soda
4 tablespoons	Cocoa
1 teaspoon	Vanilla extrac
1 teaspoon	Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon	Ground cinnamon
1 pounds	Powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon	Salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 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 9x13" pan for 20 to 30 min. 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 possible hold out!. This cake is so good, you'd eat it with one foot in the fire if you had to.
