Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Sift flour and sugar, set aside.
In a saucepan, bring the margarine, cocoa and water to a boil; remove from heat.
In a large bowl, mix all remaining cake ingredients.
Add the flour mixture and cocoa mixture, stirring well.
Bake in a greased and floured 9×13 pan for 20 to 30 minutes.
Check for doneness with a clean toothpick.
Ten minutes into the baking of the cake, prepare the frosting.
Place the margarine, cocoa, and milk in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Remove from the heat and add the remaining ingredients.

Frost the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven!

Let it cool a little before cutting, if you can’t possibly hold out! This cake is so good, you’d eat it with one foot in the fire if you had to.
