My friend, Patty, gave me this recipe and I use it over and over. I just have never found a better chocolate cake recipe! I double the recipe and cook it in a full sized restaurant pan 2" deep for a crowd! My friends at church love this cake!

    To make icing...Place butter, cocoa, and milk in medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring so it won't burn on bottom of pan. Remove from heat and add a one pound box of confectioner's sugar.
