Fall in LOVE cake:

Chocolate Cake
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 stick butter or margarine
1/2 cup oil
3 1/2 cups cocoa
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine flour, sugar, salt, and soda in large bowl.
Bring to a boil water, margarine, shortening, and cocoa, then add to flour mixture.
Let cool a little and then add milk, eggs, and vanilla.
Bake 20 minutes at 350 F or until done (I think it takes closer to 40 minutes).

Coconut Pecan Icing
1 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated can milk
3 slightly beaten egg yolks (no egg whites)
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 1/3 cup coconut (I like a little more coconut than this)
1 cup chopped pecans (Robin likes more pecans than this)
1 teaspoon vanilla (Robin likes a little more vanilla than this)

Mix all together, bring to a boil, then remove from heat while stirring. Be careful not to burn.

Ice the cake and then eat it.
