Memaw's Chocolate Cake

Memaw's Chocolate Cake:
1 stick margarine
1/2 cup crisco
4T cocoa
1 cup water
bring these four things to a boil and pour over:
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 well beaten eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 t soda
1 t vanilla
dash of salt

Bake in a greased and floured pan (9x13) at 350 for 30 minutes (it usually takes a couple of minutes longer for the middle to be totally done for me)

Icing:
1 stick margarine
4 T cocoa
6 T milk (or water)
bring to a boil and pour over:
1 box powdered sugar
1 t vanilla

You can pour the icing over the cake before the cake and icing either one have cooled and then it's iced and the top layer of the cake is kind of gooey :)
