"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
For the cake:
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp. soda
¼ tsp salt
⅓ cup cocoa
¾ cup oil (the original recipe specifies Wesson oil which makes me think it's a Wesson oil recipe)

4oz. cream cheese
½ tsp vanilla
½ box powdered sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
Directions:
For the cake: mix in all the cake ingredients well then add 1 cup hot water. The mixture will be very thin (Grandma says it will be as thin as water FYI). Grease and flour a 13x9 2 inch pan. Bake at 350 until a toothpick comes out clean; around 35 to 40 minutes.

For the icing: just beat all the icing ingredients together and spread on the cake once the cake has cooled. Enjoy!
