2 cups flour ,1/4 teaspoon salt ,1 3/4 cups sugar,4 tablespoons cocoa (I use a little more.)
1 cup water
½ cup salad oil
½ cup butter
½ cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
Combine flour, salt, sugar, and cocoa. Bring water, salad oil, and butter to a boil; combine with dry ingredients. Beat until creamy. Add buttermilk, baking soda, and eggs. Bake cake for 10 minutes at 400º or until the center springs back when touched. Be careful not to overbake the cake. Remove from oven to cooling rack. Frost cake while VERY HOT!
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup cocoa
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup marshmallows
4 cups powdered sugar
Boil butter, cocoa, and buttermilk. Add marshmallows; stir until melted. Add powdered sugar. Frosting will be thinner than normal frosting. Great for a quick dessert.
