How to Make Vanilla Texas Sheet Cake W Cream Cheese Frosting

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 cups granulated sugar.
In a separate saucepan, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, 1 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Gradually pour the hot margarine mixture into the flour and sugar mixture, whisking constantly until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup buttermilk.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool slightly in the pan before frosting.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting:
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine and 8 ounces of cream cheese until light and fluffy.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional), and 4 cups powdered sugar gradually, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Frost the warm cake evenly with the cream cheese frosting.
