Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups flour
1 3/4-2 cups sugar (your choice , this is what my original recipe says)
4 tbsp baking cocoa ( heaped)
1/4 tsp salt (or less )
1 cup cold water (you may add leftover brewed coffee to this amount, not
1/2 cup vegetable oil (your choice )
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400.
Grease & flour 13 x 9 1/2 cake pan (or 2 round) I'm sure you could make cupcakes too & I intend to try it in my bundt pan as well to see how that works.
Sift together dry ingredients.
Bring water/coffee, oil, butter to a boil.
Pour boiled mixture over dry ingredients & stir.
In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, eggs, & soda.
Add to other mixture.
Add completed mixture to pans.
Grandma always thumped the pan on the counter to remove the air bubbles (probably why it is dense).
Bake at 400 for 18 minutes, test with toothpick, will be moist, DON T OVERCOOK.
Decorate/top to your choice (try the doily and powdered sugar, it's fun)!
