This is my Chocolate Sheath Cake

a.k.a. Texas Sheath Cake, or when we made it for our school carnival, it was called Tanglewood Brownies. My boys also called it Lake Cake because I always made it for them to take to the lake. It is Mr. Orphie's favorite too.

The secret is to bake it in a shallow, jelly-roll pan.

Melt together and boil one minute:
1/2 c. butter
1 c. water
1/2 c. crisco
4 T cocoa

Combine:
2 c. sugar
2 c. flour
2 eggs
1/2 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. each of soda, salt, cinnamon, vanilla.

Pour chocolate mixture into dry ingredients. Beat by hand.
Pour into greased jelly roll pan. Bake @ 350 degrees for 25 min. (check after 20)

Ice while hot with:
1 stick butter
4 T cocoa
6 T milk
boiled together for 1 min.

Then add:
4 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. nuts if desired
