How to Make Chocolate Candy Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13 x 8 x 2 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup margarine, and 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Slowly pour the hot cocoa mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until just combined.
- Add 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the icing: In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup margarine, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Add 2 cups granulated sugar and stir occasionally. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Let the icing cool slightly before pouring it over the warm cake. Spread evenly.
