Directions:
Cake: Boil together water, margarine and cocoa. Mix flour, sugar, soda, and salt; then add eggs, milk and vanilla. Add this mixture to cocoa mixture. Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes in a large sheet cake pan. While cake is baking, make frosting.

Frosting: Bring to a boil: milk, butter, cocoa, and then add powdered sugar. Remove from heat and add vanilla, and pecan. Don't over-stir. Spread over hot cake. If your frosting gets to thick, just add a little more milk. Add enough powdered sugar for easy spreading.

This cake is always a hit. It's the very best cake you will ever make, and so quick to mix up. The icing tastes like old-fashioned fudge.
