Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['dairy_free'], recipe: cream oil, sugar and cocoa. add eggs. add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk. add soda and salt. add vanilla to hot water and fold water into cake. bake in 9 x 13-inch pan at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until done. icing for old-fashioned chocolate cake: bring margarine, cocoa and whole milk to boil. remove from heat and add powdered sugar and vanilla. mix until smooth and of spreading consistency. this is my favorite chocolate cake.

Target recipe: mix all dry cake ingredients. add boiling water, egg and vanilla. pour into greased and floured 13x9 inch pan. bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. if you have a hot oven, check at 35 minutes. toothpick in center should come out clean when done. for frosting, mix dry ingredients, add water, vanilla and pb and mix well. add more 10x, pb or cocoa depending on consistency and taste. cool cake before frosting. this cake tends to lose it's top layer when frosted (it has a glossy top layer which is very moist) but if you like a heavy, dark chocolate cake, it is worth the effort. just frost gently.
