Chocolate Fudge Cake

I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, Amy. It reminds me of a Texas sheet cake but thicker. It is delicious and everyone that I make it for loves it. It's also super easy to make with almost all the ingredients found in most peoples pantry.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease a 9x13 inch pan.
Heat in a saucepan until melted:
1/2 cup margarine
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water

Pour over:
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa

Mix, then add:
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. baking soda

Mix well and pour into pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Batter will seem pretty liquid-y and that's ok.
When cake is almost done start making icing:

Heat in saucepan until melted:
1/2 cup margarine
1/3 cup milk

Pour over:
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix well and pour over hot cake.

Icing will be pretty liquid-y too but once it is poured over cake and sits for a few minutes it will set. You could add chocolate chips or any other kind of chip for a different twist.

I served with ice-cream.
