It's a sheet cake, but I thought I'd share anyway:-) My boss made it, and I LOVED it, so I asked for the recipe. I may make it this weekend.

Mexican Sheet Cake

1 cup margarine
1 cup water
4 tbsp cocoa
2 cups sugar
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon

FROSTING
1/2 cup margarine
6 tbsp milk
5 tbsp cocoa
1 16 ox box powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts

Bring the first three ingredients to a boil; combine with sugar and flour and mix. Add eggs one at a time. Stir baking soda into buttermilk and add to mixed ingredients. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Bake 18 minutes in 15x10x1 inch pan. Four minutes after cake is in the oven, prepare frosting. Melt margarine; add milk and cocoa. Pour over powdered sugar. Add vanilla and nuts and mix. Frost while cake is hot.
