Texas Sheet Cake

2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 c cocoa
1 cup butter
1 cup water
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk

ICING:
1/4 c butter
1/4 c cocoa
2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

3-4 tablespoons milk

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, salt, baking soda and cocoa. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter and water together until the butter is completely melted. Add the butter mixture in the dry ingredients and incorporate well. Add the eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk. Beat the batter until it is very smooth and pour into a greased and floured half sheet baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Cool for 5-10 min before spreading frosting over top. For the icing, beat together all of the ingredients until everything is incorporated and smooth. Spread icing all over the top of the cake when cake is still warm.
