This might be good for the babies, actually, if they're at the point where they can have sweets. It's from our family cookbook, the notes are my mom's. The cake itself isn't as sweet as some cakes, it's the frosting that does it so it can be left unfrosted according to taste (or, if you're like me, over frosted according to taste :). Very easy, very quick.

Chocolate Sheet Cake

“This recipe was originally given to my mother by her college roomate. It as since become a crowd pleaser in several households.”

Sift together in a large bowl: 2 cups sugar, 4 tbls cocoa, 2 cups flour.
Put in saucepan and bring to boil: 2 sticks butter or margarine and 1 cup water.
Pour butter mixture over dry mixture and mix well.
Add 1/2 cup buttermilk (1/2 tbls of lemon juice to 1/2 cup milk for a few minutes)
Spread on jelly roll pan (cookie sheet) and bake at 400 degress for 20-25 minutes.

Frosting:

Bring to boil 1 stick of butter or margarine and 1/3 cup milk. Remove from heat. Sift 1 lb of powdered sugar and 4 tbls of cocoa together. Pour butter/milk mixture over dry mixture. Add 1/4 tsp vanilla. Mix well. Frosting may be spread on warm cake.

This recipe is very easy and makes a large cake that is sinfully rich and delicious. I never plan on having any leftovers. (We even used this recipe for cake at our wedding!)
