How To make "Foot In The Fire" Chocolate Cake

Cake: 2 c All-purpose flour
2 c Sugar
1 c Margarine
4 tb Cocoa
1 c Cold water
1 ts Baking soda
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Salt
1/2 c Buttermilk
2 Eggs
Frosting: 1/2 c Margarine
5 tb Evaporated milk
1 c Pecans; chopped
4 tb Cocoa
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 lb Powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift flour and sugar, set aside. In a saucepan, bring the margarine, cocoa and water to a boil; remove from heat. In a large bowl, mix all remaining cake ingredients. Add the flour mixture and cocoa mixture, stirring well. Bake in a greased and floured 9x13" pan for 20 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness with a clean toothpick. Ten minutes into the baking of the cake, prepare the frosting. Place the margarine, cocoa, and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Beat until smooth. FROST THE CAKE AS SOON AS IT COME OUT OF THE OVEN. Let it cool a little before cutting, if you can't possible hold out!. This cake is so good, you'd eat it with one foot in the fire if you had to. -----
