a chocolate cake that is "to die for"

I got this recipe from my mom who also LOVES to bake, cook, and eat just as much as I do! I believe she got it from a friend of hers and it is in old family recipe!
BUTTERMILK CHOCOLATE CAKE

2 cups  Flour
2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup cocoa (Hershey's - natural unsweetened)
1 cup Wesson Oil
1 tsp Vanilla
1 cup  Boiling Water
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 cup Buttermilk
2 tsp Baking Soda - dissolved in Buttermilk
2 eggs

Blend dry ingredients. Add oil, vanilla and eggs. Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk and add. Blend. Add boiling water last and mix well. Pour cake batter into a 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until done.
Watch it after about 30 minutes, my oven bakes it faster.

FROSTING

1 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 tsp Vanilla

Add first four ingredients and bring to a boil. Boil until creamy. Add vanilla. Pour over warm cake

I would have taken a picture of the finished product, but it was gone before I could make it back with my camera!!!
