Frosting:

3 tblsp cocoa

1/4 cup butter

6 tblsp milk

16 ounces powdered sugar

In a large bowl, mix flour and sugar. Set aside. Combine water, butter, and cocoa in a saucepan; bring to boil and pour over flour mixture. Then add eggs, baking soda, buttermilk, and vanilla; beat together. Lightly grease a 12x16 jellyroll pan with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes. 

Ten minutes before cake is done baking, start the frosting. In a saucepan, add cocoa, butter, and milk; bring to a boil. When it reaches a boil, beat in powdered sugar and vanilla. Frost cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. Let cool completely, then serve.
