This is for Arvilla looking for Texas Sheet Cake. I got this from my mom; it is easy and so good! Mom and I both have frozen it with good results.

Texas Sheet Cake
Grease and flour a jelly roll pan with high rims. Set oven to 400. Sift together:

2 c. flour & 2 c. sugar (have not tired Splenda) and put in a large bowl. In a saucepan put 1 stick margarine, 1/2 c. cooking oil, 4 T cocoa and 1 c. water. Bring to a boil and pour over flour/sugar mixture. Add 1/2 buttermilk, 2 eggs, slightly beaten, 1 t. cinnamon, 1 t. soda and 1 tsp. vanilla. Mix together with the other ingredients and pour into pan. Bake 15-20 minutes.

Frosting:
In a saucepan put 1 stick margarine, 4 T cocoa, 6 T milk. Bring to a boil; remove from heat and add 1 box powdered sugar, 1 T vanilla and 1 c. chopped nuts. Spread on top of cake while cake and frosting are still warm.

The last time I made this, the frosting spilled out over the sides; I made the sides a little higher with some tin foil.
