THE CAKE

THE FROSTING

* Preheat oven to 375 F.

1. Whisk the flour and the sugars together in a large bowl. Place the butter, Crisco, cocoa, and water in a saucepan and bring mixture to a rapid boil. Pour it over the flour mixture and stir well.

2. Add the baking soda, cinnamon, salt, buttermilk and eggs. Blend rapidly, and pour into a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Bake for 30 mins. Do not overbake; a soft velvety texture is special to this cake.

3. As the cake bakes, make the frosting by placing the milk, cocoa and butter in a saucepan, heat and blend with a whisk. Off the heat add the sugar, vanilla and pecans. Spread the hot frosting on the hot cake.
