Directions:
Sift flour and sugar together in bowl. Put water, cocoa and butter in saucepan cook at medium heat until butter melts. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into greased sheet cake pan and cook 20 minutes at 350º.

For icing, five minutes before cake is done, in a saucepan, bring butter, cocoa and milk over medium heat to a rapid boil. Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla; beat well to remove lumps. Spread over the sheet cake while it is still hot. You can either mix the chopped pecans into the icing before pouring it over the hot sheet cake, or sprinkle them over the top after you put the icing on (or omit all together).
