2 C sugar
1 C marg.(2 sticks)
1 C strong coffee (leftover is fine)
1/4 C cocoa
1/2 C buttermilk ( or whats in the fridge!)
2 Large eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

In a large bowl combine flour and sugar, set aside

In saucepan, combine marg, coffee, and cocoa, stir and heat till it boils.

Pour boiled mixture over flour and sugar in the bowl. Add your milk, eggs, soda and vanilla.
Mix well by hand or use you mixer.

Pour into well buttered 18 x 11 cookie sheet.

Frosting,
Combine 1/2 cup marg,
2 TB cocoa,
1/4 C milk, in a saucepan,
Heat to boiling, remove from stove
Add 3 1/2 C icing sugar stir well, next add -
1 - 1/12 tsp of extract, we prefer peppermint, but you can use vanilla , or whatever you like.

Bake Brownies at 325 for about 20 min.
or until they test done in the center.
we have a convection oven so it bakes faster.

Cool brownies until warm, not hot, spread warm (not hot) frosting and good luck having any leftovers!!

I have made this and was told it was the best chocolate cake in the world. But while you're there look around because she has some recipes that will knock your socks off.
