Pur into greased and floured sheet pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 min (till toothpick inserted into middle of the cake comes out clean)

Frosting
In a saucepan mix 1 stick butter, 5 Tablespoons of cocoa, and 6 Tablespoons of milk. Heat adn stir until blended. Add 1 package of powdered sugar 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 1/2 cups of nuts (nuts optional). Blend together and pour over hot cake.

I poke holes in the cake with a toothpick so that some of the frosting runs down into the cake. Mmmmmmmm good!!!

You may want to add more or less sugar and/or vinegar. I just keep tasting. I don't do alot of measuring.
Pour over potatoes and let set overnight.
(I also like to use this dressing for cole slaw)
