2 c. white sugar
6 tbsp. cocoa
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3 c. flour
2 c. cold water
2/3 c. oil
2 tbsp. vinegar
2 tsp. vanilla

Mix first 5 ingredients well. Add remaining ingredients and mix until batter is smooth. Bake in ungreased 13 x 9 cake pan for 30 to 35 minutes at 350 degrees.

ICING:

2 c. brown sugar
Milk
1 stick butter

Put brown sugar in sauce pan. Add just enough milk (approximately 1/4 cup) to make sugar moist. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick (boil for 3 minutes). It is ready when a small spoonful makes a ball in cold water. Take off stove, add butter and beat with mixer until dissolved and desired consistency.
