Directions

In a large saucepan, combine the cocoa and water until smooth; add butter. Bring just to a boil. Remove from the heat.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and baking soda; add cocoa mixture.

Combine eggs, oil and buttermilk; add to cocoa mixture and beat until smooth.

Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

In a large saucepan, bring the cocoa, butter and buttermilk to a boil. Remove from the heat. Whisk in confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over the warm cake. Sprinkle with pecans if desired. Cool on a wire rack.

Delicious!

Decadent, delicious, divine! I have a Texas buttermilk sheet cake that is almost identical. I just don't use oil in the cake. When I saw this I just knew it was good. My mouth starting watering looking at the pictures. That whole frosting a cake when it's warm out of the oven just rocks anyone's world doesn't it? I'm pinching yours and when I can eat cake again, I'm going to try it just to see the differences. Our ingredients are almost identical but different measurements. This is what excites me about recipes. Thanks for sharing! Texas Buttermilk Sheet Cake-Annette's
