Grandmother's Sheath Cake

I can't remember a time when I was at my grandmother's and she didn't have this sheath cake for us to eat, it was always great!

Preheat oven 300 degrees

Sift Together
2 cups of flour
2 cups of sugar
2 teaspoons of Cinnamon
1 teaspoon of baking soda

In a separate sauce pot on the stove mix together
1 stick of margarine
1/2 cup of Crisco
1 cup of water
3 tablespoons Cocoa

Put dry ingredients into hot mixture and mix well, then add 1/2 cup of buttermilk and 2 beaten eggs (I substituted 1/2 cup of egg beaters).

Mix all together and pour into a greased 11x13 pan and bake 40 minutes.

For the Icing:
1 stick of margarine
6 tablespoons of milk
3 tablespoons of Cocoa
1 to 2 teaspoons of Vanilla

Mix all together with a hand mixer and then gradually mix in 4 3/4 cups powdered sugar....mix really well.

Pour over cake while the cake is still hot, I use a toothpick to make some holes on the cake so the icing can seep in there as well.

Enjoy!!!!
