My mom once gave my Great-Grandmother a journal and asked her to fill it with advice, guidance, prayers, scripture, and memories. She wanted it to be personalized, something she could share with my sister and I and treasure for years to come. My Great-Grandmother was an inspirational woman. She lived a hard life, but she never ceased to give God praise. Her wisdom deserves to be shared, not just within our family, but with anyone who will listen.

Chocolate Sheet Cake

2 cups sugar
2 cups self rising flour
1 stick of margarine
½ cup Crisco oil
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 cups water
½ cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon vanilla

Sift together sugar and flour and put into large mixing bowl. Place margarine, Crisco, and water into saucepan and bring to rapid boil. Pour over flour and sugar mixture, beating well. Mix together buttermilk, eggs, soda, and vanilla and pour into the above mixture and then into a greased and floured 15x10x1 inch pan. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes.

Icing:
1 tsp. vanilla
1 stick margarine (I use Blue Bonnet)
½ cup chopped pecans
4 tablespoons cocoa
6 tbsp. milk (1/3 cup)
1 box confectioners sugar

Start icing 5 minutes before cake is done. Put all ingredients except confectioners sugar into saucepan and bring to boil. Then pour this over one box confectioners sugar and beat well. Remove cake from oven and spread icing on hot cake. Leave in pan. Cut is squares and serve.

I took this cake to work and everybody like it. They called it "Nell Price Cake" Most of them wanted a copy of how to make it.

Good Luck!
