The Best Chocolate Cake Ever:

Yes, it was THAT good!!
Here's the recipe:

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
(mix in a bowl - set aside)

1 cup water
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup butter
(combine in a small saucepan, bring to just boiling; add to dry ingredients and mix on high until thoroughly combined)

2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1-1/2 tsp vanilla
(add to mixture, beat for one minute - batter will be thin)

Pour batter into greased 13x9x2 inch pan or 15x10x1 inch pan. Bake in 350 degree oven: 25 min. for 15x10x1"; 35 for 13x9x2".

Frosting:
In a medium saucepan combine 1/4 cup butter, 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and 3 tablespoons of buttermilk. Bring to boiling; remove from heat. Add 2-1/4 cups powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Beat until smooth. Pour warm frosting over warm cake, spreading evenly. Cool completely. Enjoy. Go back for seconds. Ben does!
