In a large Pyrex measuring cup or large bowl, combine the butter, Crisco, cocoa and water bringing mixture to a boil in the microwave. Add chocolate mixture to sugar and flour and add buttermilk, eggs, soda, salt and vanilla. Mix well and bake 30-35 minutes @ 350° in a greased and floured 9 x 13 pan.

Combine milk, butter and cocoa, bring to a boil in the microwave, add powered sugar and mix well. You can ice cake as soon as it comes out of the oven but I like to wait until it has cooled slightly.
