In a bowl add dry ingredients, then pour the heated mixture over the dry and mix...add the buttermilk and eggs last..pour into a jelly roll pan greased and floured (it makes a large cake that is about 1 inch high..

Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes..check at 20 minutes with toothpick..

You can ice with any type of icing but I make my own..here is the recipe..

In a sauce pan melt stick of butter and add 3 heaping tablespoons of cocoa...on warm..combine the above two and then add about 1/2 sack of powdered sugar..drizzle coke or Pepsi to make a medium thick fudge icing..make sure the mixture is combined and the sugar melted..it should be a pourable mixture..spread carefully over the cake..it will set up like fudge...let cool..this is the moist moist and flavorful cake you have ever ate..I get complements all the time and the cake doesn't last very long..I use the jelly roll pan because with the fudge icing its almost like a brownie..enjoy
