This is my grandma's chocolate cake recipe and brings back so many wonderful memories...like every time she served there would be a little 1 inch x 1 inch piece taken out of the corner so she could "make sure it was good enough to serve guests"!!!
The cake itself is good, the cooked frosting is what makes it the best cake in the world!!
Grandma's Chocolate Cake
•½ cup softened margarine
•½ cup oil
•2 cups sugar
•2 cups flour
•1 t. baking soda
•½ cup buttermilk
•1 t. vanilla
•2 eggs
•1 cup cold water
•4 heaping T. cocoa
1.Combine sugar, margarine, eggs and oil until mixed. Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth.
2.Grease and cocoa a 13x9 inch cake pan and pour batter into pan. Bake at 375 for about 30 minutes.
3.A few minutes before the cake is done, prepare the frosting so that it is just done when the cake comes out of the oven (frosting recipe follows). Poke many holes in hot cake with a fork and slowly spoon frosting over cake, smoothing as you go so the frosting sinks into the fork holes and giving it time between pouring to sink into the holes.
Grandma's Chocolate Frosting:
•½ cup margarine
•6 T. milk (NOT buttermilk)
•1 t. vanilla
•4 T. cocoa
•2 cups powdered sugar
1.Mix together all ingredients in a 2 quart saucepan and bring to a boil over medium (med-low) flame. Boil for 30-45 seconds only and pour hot frosting over hot cake as directed above.

Mary Berry's Sunday Best Chocolate cake is the best and simpliest chocolate cake I've ever made. Don't know the ingredients of by heart but it one of those throw everything in a bowl and mix, then shove in the oven ones (but delicious!!) You should try and get a copy!

Buy a cake mix it's a lot cheaper and then say you made it.
