1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

ICING FOR SHEETCAKE:

Melt 1 stick oloe, 4 tablespoons cocoa, 6 tablespoons milk. Bring to a boil, remove from fire and add 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 box powdered sugar (sifted) and 1 cup broken nuts. I like to take a fork and punch a few holes in cake as soon as I take it out of the oven and put the icing on the hot cake.
