Texas Chocolate Cake

Texas Chocolate Cake
This chocolate cake is one of my favorite chocolate cakes, it's a moist cake with a rich fudge icing. Give it a try! It's great with ice cream. Just don't make it to often its not a health food.

List of Ingredients (For the Cake):
2 Cups Flour
2 Cups Sugar
2 Sticks Butter
4 Tbsp Cocoa
1 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Butter Milk
2 Eggs
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Vanilla

Icing:
1 Stick Butter
4 Tbsp Cocoa
6 Tbsp Milk
1 Lb. Confectionary Sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9" x 13" Pan

To Make the Cake:
In a large bowl mix 2 cups flour and 2 cups sugar. In a saucepan melt 2 sticks of butter, 4 Tbsp cocoa, 1 cup water and bring to a boil then remove it from the heat and pour over the flour and sugar and mix together well. Then add the rest of the cake ingredients mix well and pour into the pan. Bake it for 35 Minutes a t 350 degrees. Check if done by lightly poking your finger in the middle for firmness.

To Make the Icing:
In a saucepan bring the butter, cocoa and milk to a boil then remove it from the heat and fold in the confectionary sugar, mix well and spread over the warm cake. If you like walnuts sprinkle a 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts over top of the icing.
