DIRECTIONS

Cake: mix all ingredients together with mixer.
Grease and Flour 8 inch cake pans.
Pour about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of batter in each pan (depending on how thick you want the cake layers) then spread out the batter evenly in the pans.
Bake at 300 for about 15 to 20 minutes until done.
Icing: Mix sugar and cocoa in large pot.
Add milk, butter and vanilla.
Cook over medium heat until boiling, stir constantly.
Lower heat and continue to stir.
As layers come out of the oven spread icing on them, stacking the layers and finish off by putting icing on side and top.
The icing will set like fudge as the cake cools.
This will make a 10 to 15 layer cake.
