Chapter Two's Sinful Cinnamon Chocolate Cake

It's a great recipe for when you are needing to add an immense amount of fat and chocolate to your day. Works great for PMS but I wouldn't suggest eating the entire cake to cure it.

It's my Aunt Syndey's recipe. She always started every thing she cooked with a stick of butter.

Set oven at 400°

1 stick Oleo (butter)
1 cup water
1/2 cup cooking oil
4 Tbsp Hershey's Cocoa

Bring to a boil--set aside

2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt

pour into wet ingredients into flour mixture. Add:

1/2 buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
1 or 2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs

Back in a 10"x13" cake pan for 25 minutes

Icing: (yes, and it's just a rich as the cake)

1 stick oleo (butter)
6 Tbsp buttermilk
1 box (4cups) powered sugar
2/3 cup Cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 cup coconut (optional)
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Mix well and spread on hot, warm, or cooled cake. You can also sprinkle the nuts, coconut, or powdered sugar on top. For a holiday feel, spread sprinkles or crushed peppermint candies or Andes Mints on top.
