    2      cups          all-purpose flour
    2      cups          sugar
    1      cup           margarine
    4      tablespoons   cocoa
    1      cup           cold water
    1      teaspoon      baking soda
    1      teaspoon      vanilla extract
    1      teaspoon      ground cinnamon
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
      1/2  cup           buttermilk
    2                    eggs
                         --FROSTING INGREDIENTS-
      1/2  cup           margarine
    5      tablespoons   evaporated milk
    1      cup           pecans -- chopped
    4      tablespoons   cocoa
    1      teaspoon      vanilla extract
    1      pound         powdered sugar
 
                                                             
 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.
