This was another recipe from my childhood. It's is a chocolate/cinnamon sheet cake, and I have no idea where the name came from...
In a saucepan on stove, bring to a boil 2 cubes of butter, 4 T. cocoa, and 1 cup water. Separately, sift together 2 cups flour and 2 cups sugar. Pour hot mixture over flour and sugar mixture. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk (1/2 cup milk + 1 T. vinegar), 1 tsp soda, 2 eggs, 1 t. vanilla, 1 T. cinnamon. Pour into greased and floured jellyroll pan. Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Icing: 5 minutes before cake is done, bring to a boil 1 cube of butter, 6 T. milk, 4 T. cocoa. Take off heat - add 1-1lb box powdered sugar. Mix well. Add 1 t. vanilla. Pour over cake while still warm.
