Frosting

1 stick butter
4 Tbsp. cocoa
4-6 Tbsp. buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla

-Add to boil mixture the following

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

**Frost cake while still hot

***Make buttermilk by adding small amounts of vinegar to regular or canned milk***

(Some things I’ve learned from making this cake a dozen times: If you sift the powder sugar for the frosting, it doesn’t make lumps in the frosting. I add the baking soda to the other dry ingredients. And ½ pint of buttermilk is the exact amount you need for this cake.)
