Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15-inch cake pan.
• Combine butter, water, and cocoa powder for cake in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter has melted and mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, mix flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Beat buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
• Add melted butter mixture to the flour mixture, then add buttermilk-egg mixture and beat until thoroughly combined. Pour into the prepared cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine butter, milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract for the frosting in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until butter melts, then stir in powdered sugar. Spread frosting over the warm cake.

GRANDMA'S TEXAS SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 10 x 15-inch jelly roll pan and set aside.
• Place butter, shortening, water and cocoa powder in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, baking soda and salt. Pour the hot butter mixture over the flour mixture. Use an electric mixer to beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
• Add eggs, vanilla extract and buttermilk. Beat on medium speed for 1 more minute.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap on the counter a few times to release air bubbles. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the cake pan on a wire rack and immediately prepare the frosting.
• If your cake has a rounded top on it when it comes out of the oven, use your hands, oven mits, or a dish towel to gently press down on the top of the cake to create a flat surface. You need a relatively flat top so that the icing will not run off the sides.
• Place butter, cocoa powder and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat. Add the sifted confectioners' sugar and the vanilla extract; beat until smooth.
• Pour the hot frosting over the warm cake. Spread evenly, then set the cake on a wire rack to cool completely. The frosting will firm up as it cools. Slice into squares and serve!
